A popular landscape plant, Lantana montevidensis (Trailing Lantana) is a sprawling woody shrub forming a dense and colorful groundcover with its evergreen foliage of strongly-scented, small, coarsely-toothed, slightly-hairy, dark green leaves. Round clusters of tiny rosy lilac flowers, adorned with a yellow throat, bloom continuously throughout the year in frost-free areas. In cooler areas, Lantana montevidensis is grown as an annual, with flowers blooming from spring to fall. They attract butterflies and bees. This Lantana is a tough, resilient plant valued for its long season of reliable blooms.
