Trailing Lantana (Lantana sellowiana / montevidensis)

Trailing Lantana is a magnificent, spreading, low-growing evergreen shrub that forms a broad, dense, carpet-like mat of dark-green, aromatic foliage, smothered continuously in small, rounded clusters of bright, cheerful flowers. Its cascading, weeping habit is unparalleled for trailing elegantly over retaining walls, hanging baskets, and steep banks where erosion control is needed. Extremely heat, drought, and salt-tolerant, it requires very little maintenance once established and provides a year-round nectar source for butterflies and bees.
