Trailing Lavender Lantana
Overview: A lantana grown for its lavender-purple blooms on a low, trailing plant.
Mature size: Approximately 1–3 ft. tall, spreading wider than tall.
Sun exposure: Full sun
Flowering season: Summer through first frost
Hardiness: USDA Zones 8–11 (root-hardy as a perennial in warmer parts of Zone 7–8 with some cultivars)
Water needs: Average; drought- and heat-tolerant once established
Special features: A trailing groundcover type rather than the mounding habit of most Lantana camara cultivars. Woody-based, sprawling shrub grown as an annual or perennial depending on climate and cultivar; salt-tolerant; leaves and unripe berries can mildly irritate skin and are toxic to livestock if ingested
Wildlife value: A major nectar source for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds
