Luscious® Royale Lemon Tart™ Lantana

Lantanas are tough plants that vigorously bloom starting in the spring, with flowers continuing to bloom through the fall. The Luscious® Royale Lemon Tart™ Lantana features bright, lemon-yellow, star-shaped flowers that bloom in large clusters. The Lantana camara has medium-green foliage with scalloped edges. This beauty is a perennial in zones 9 through 11 and is grown as an annual or tender perennial in other areas.

Lantana has a mounded form, creating a full appearance. Bees, butterflies, and other pollinators flock to the flowers of the Lantana. This plant hails from Central and South America, making it well suited to high heat and dry conditions.

Luscious® Royale Lemon Tart™ Lantana Care

Increased sunlight is a must for the Luscious® Royale Lemon Tart™ Lantana. Plant this flowering plant in an area that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight. Newly planted Lantana and container-grown plants need consistent watering, while established plants can handle dry conditions. Water during a dry spell to support continued flower production. Rich, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0 - 6.5 helps the plant thrive. Feed Lantana using a balanced fertilizer. Plants in the ground benefit from feedings in the spring and mid-summer. Potted plants can be fed every 2 to 4 weeks during the growing season.

Lantanas are easy-care plants that have a nice natural shape. Trim the plants as needed if the stems appear leggy. A rejuvenating cut will promote more branching and a full look.
