5 Seeds Texas Lantana Shrub Flowering Heat Tolerant
Texas Lantana is a low-growing, woody flowering shrub known for its rounded clusters of tiny blooms that appear in warm shades of orange, yellow, and red. It is a durable, sun-loving plant that brings long-lasting color to beds, borders, and containers with minimal fuss.
This shrub works well in pollinator gardens, xeriscapes, and mixed borders, where its spreading habit fills space with seasonal color. It can also be grown in large patio containers and trimmed lightly to maintain shape. Its blossoms add bright visual interest through the warmer months and pair nicely with grasses and other drought-tolerant perennials.
