Lantana camara
Light: Full sun for best flowering; light afternoon shade can help in especially hot Phoenix exposures.
Water: Low to moderate water once established. Water deeply, then let the upper several inches of soil dry; irrigate more frequently during establishment and extreme summer heat.
Soil: Well-drained soil; tolerates sandy, gravelly, and alkaline soils. Avoid persistently wet or poorly drained sites.
Mature size: Typically 3–6 feet tall and wide, depending on cultivar, pruning, and frost exposure.
Bloom: Spring through fall, often into winter in frost-protected locations; flowering may slow during extreme heat or cold.
Evergreen / deciduous: Evergreen in frost-free conditions; may lose leaves or die back during Phoenix winter freezes, usually regrowing from surviving roots.
Growth rate: Fast during warm weather.
