Description

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.

Bright White Groundcover Blooms: Produces masses of crisp white flower clusters over a very long season.
Vigorous Trailing Habit: Excellent for spilling over retaining walls, containers, or covering large, sunny banks.
Unfussy & Heat Loving: Thrives in the poorest soils and hottest exposures with minimal care.
High Invasive Potential: Seeds prolifically and can spread aggressively into wildlands. Sterile cultivars are strongly preferred.
Attracts Pollinators: The white flowers are also attractive to butterflies and bees.

Faqs

Q: Can it be grown in hanging baskets?
A: Yes, it is excellent for hanging baskets due to its trailing habit and constant bloom. Ensure the basket is in full sun and water regularly, as containers dry out faster.

Q: What is the best sterile white alternative?
A: The 'White Bandana®' cultivar is a top choice. It offers the same white blooms and trailing habit but is bred to be sterile, eliminating the invasive seed problem.
