I love this Dallas Red Lantana (*Lantana camara ‘*Dallas Red’) I bought this summer. I had never seen this color before until I stumbled upon it at a local nursery. I potted them in a terra cotta windowbox container and they are thriving, even in this summer heat of 100+ degree days. Granted I do protect them from the afternoon sun.
I only wish I had planted this under the Southern Red Oak tree instead of the ’ Confetti’ cultivar.
Some Lantana I have planted in the past, look awful by the end of the season. They become dry, brittle and the leaves curl a bit. I hope this ones sticks around. It seems perfect for my new container garden.
