| Botanical Name | Lantana x 'New Gold' |
| Description | A true Texas Superstar® and a staple for Willis and Houston gardens. 'New Gold' is prized for its low-trailing habit, nearly seedless nature (meaning more flowers and less mess), and incredible heat tolerance. It provides a carpet of gold that stands up to the most intense Houston summers. While it thrives in various soils, ensure it has good drainage; in our local clay, a slightly raised planting area is best to prevent root rot during wet Southeast Texas winters. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Essential for maximum bloom production) |
| Height x Width | 12-15 in. Tall x 18-24 in. Wide |
| Water | Low once established. Very drought-tolerant, but requires sharp drainage to survive heavy Houston rain events. |
| Zones | 8b - 11 (Root-hardy perennial in the Houston area) |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. Avoid over-fertilizing, as too much nitrogen can reduce blooming. |
| Pruning | Cut back by about one-third in mid-summer if the plant becomes leggy to encourage a new flush of blooms. Cut to the ground in late winter after the last frost. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
