\nLantana is a semi-shrubby, trailing plant, highly valued as ground cover or in hanging baskets due to its pendulous growth. It features small, oval leaves with a rough texture and characteristic aroma. Its small, tubular flowers cluster in globular inflorescences, with shades ranging from lilac to yellow. Flowering is prolonged, occurring from spring to autumn, being especially vigorous in locations with good sun exposure. <\/p>\n
Scientific name<\/strong>: Lantana montevidensis<\/em> CUIDADOS<\/strong> Fun fact<\/strong>: Although less aggressive than other species of the same genus, such as Lantana camara, Lantana montevidensis can become invasive in favorable environments. Its flowers are attractive to butterflies and bees, making it an excellent choice for pollinator gardens.<\/p>\n WARNING!

Category<\/strong>: Outdoor plant
Approximate height<\/strong>: 20-25cm
Pot diameter<\/strong>: 10,5cm<\/p>\n
Light<\/strong>: Prefers locations with direct sun exposure. Develops best with at least 4 to 6 hours of sun per day. In partial shade, flowering
is less intense.
Temperature<\/strong>: Enjoys warm climates, being sensitive to intense cold. It tolerates light frosts if the roots are protected,
slows down below 10\u00b0C.
Watering<\/strong>: Requires regular watering after planting. Once established, it is quite drought tolerant. During summer, should be watered whenever the soil is dry, avoiding waterlogging.
Humidity<\/strong>: Adapts to moderately dry soils, as long as they are well-drained. Does not like constantly moist or waterlogged soils.
Fertilization<\/strong>: Apply balanced or phosphorus-rich fertilizer in early spring and repeat every 4 to 6 weeks during the growing season to stimulate flowering.
Pruning<\/strong>: Can be pruned in late winter or after flowering periods to control growth and promote a more compact and floriferous appearance. Removing dried flowers helps to prolong flowering.
Life cycle<\/strong>: Perennial in mild climates. In regions with harsh winters it may behave as an annual.
Soil<\/strong>: Light, well-drained substrate with a good percentage of sand or organic matter. Tolerates slightly alkaline soils.
