Lantana (Purple)

Purple lantana has waves of soft purple flower clusters from spring through fall that attract butterflies.  This drought tolerant, low maintenance perennial can make a great addition to the landscape. It tolerates partial shade, but blooms better in full sun.  Once established, only occasional watering is needed. Plants can be pruned back in late winter to produce new growth.
