You’ve struck pollinator gold! Brilliant golden-yellow flowers distinguish this hybrid lantana. A butterfly banquet, flat clusters of showy, brightly colored blooms make the perfect feeding platform that butterflies seek out. A heat lover, New Gold lantana is a spreading lantana ideal for those hard-to-crack places where other plants have failed to thrive or survive. Will cover your bare hot spots with bright green foliage and butterfly-loving flowers, such as a mass planting on an embankment. Use on sun-drenched rocky hillsides, slopes, banks, borders, edgings, or to quickly obscure utility boxes, irrigation controls, posts, or curbs. Also a flowery gem in containers and hanging baskets or when cascading over retaining walls. Takes to pruning. Drought tolerant too, so water deeply but infrequently. Grows to 2’ high and 2’ to 4’ wide. Tolerates poor soils. Provide full sun. Flowers nearly all year, especially in frost-free areas. Hardy from Zone 8 to 11..
