Lantana camara
Light: Full sun for best flowering; light afternoon shade is helpful near reflective walls in Phoenix.
Water: Low to moderate water once established; water deeply, then let soil dry between waterings. Irrigate more regularly during establishment and extreme summer heat.
Soil: Well-drained soil; tolerates sandy, rocky, and alkaline soils. Avoid persistently wet soil.
Mature size: Typically 3–6 feet tall and 4–6 feet wide; compact pink cultivars stay smaller.
Bloom: Spring through fall, often into winter during frost-free weather.
Evergreen / deciduous: Evergreen in frost-free locations; may lose leaves or die back during Zone 9b freezes, usually regrowing from surviving roots in spring.
Growth rate: Fast during warm weather.
