Description

Dallas Red Bush Lantana is a popular, compact shrub valued for its rich, brick-red to deep orange flower clusters that hold their color well without fading to yellow. It has a neat, mounded habit and blooms non-stop from spring to frost. While smaller than some L. camara types, it retains the species' legendary toughness and appeal to butterflies. Caution regarding invasiveness applies.

Consistent Red-Orange Blooms: Flowers maintain a deep red-orange hue, lacking the strong yellow tones of other varieties.
Compact, Mounded Form: Grows in a tidy, well-branched mound, typically 3-4 feet tall and wide.
Continuous Color: An exceptionally long-blooming plant for sunny borders or containers.
Attracts Butterflies: A reliable nectar source.
Invasive Risk: As a L. camara cultivar, it poses a potential invasive threat. Prefer sterile hybrids.
