White Trailing Lantana
Lantana montevidensis ‘Alba’
White Trailing Lantana is a cascading evergreen shrub that provides a clean, bright groundcover option with its profusion of pure white flower clusters. It shares the same tough, drought-tolerant, and fast-growing characteristics as the purple form, creating a low, spreading mat of aromatic foliage. It blooms tirelessly from spring to fall, offering a luminous effect in the landscape. Like its purple relative, it carries a high risk of invasiveness in suitable climates.
