Lantana Seeds - Flower Plant for Home Gardens

Lantana is a hardy flowering plant known for its spreading growth habit and clusters of small, multicolored blooms. It can grow as a shrub or trailing plant depending on conditions and is widely adapted to warm and tropical climates. Lantana thrives in full sun and performs well in well-drained soils, tolerating heat and dry conditions once established. It is commonly used in garden beds, borders, containers, and ground cover planting. Seeds germinate under warm conditions, though establishment may be gradual during early growth stages.
