About Lantana Purple
Lantana camara is a species of flowering plant in the verbena family. Lantana is a small perennial or annual shrub that can grow to around 2 metres tall, forming dense thickets in a variety of environments. It bears small, tubular-shaped flowers arranged in clusters at the terminal areas of the stems. This variety flowers in purple with a contrasting white/yellow throat. The leaves are broadly ovate, opposite, and simple, with a strong odour when crushed.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: Full sun for the best flowering.
- Soil: Not fussy; ordinary well-drained soil is sufficient.
- Water: Easy to grow and care for; tolerant of some neglect once established.
Planting & Placement
Can be grown in the garden or in containers; trailing forms can even be grown in hanging baskets.
Care
- Fertilizer: Minimal feeding needed given its easy-going nature.
- Pruning: Light trimming keeps the shrub shapely and encourages fresh blooms.
Flowering
Produces clusters of small purple tubular flowers with a contrasting throat, attracting butterflies and other pollinators to the garden.
