Details

If there's a cooler name for a plant than 'Carlos' Lantana, we're not aware! As unique as musician, Carlos Santana; the blooms have such a different color we couldn't figure out how to describe it. When the flower clusters first open they are gold with a magenta blush, maturing to a darkish fuchsia-burgundy-magenta. Spreading, bushy habit. It's no wonder Lantana has become one of our top-selling annuals! Nothing attracts more butterflies or is tougher for handling the heat and wind. The hotter it gets the more they thrive! According to the Humane Society of America, Lantana leaves can be toxic to pets.
