| Botanical Name | Lantana camara 'Dallas Red' |
| Description | 'Dallas Red' is one of the most resilient Lantanas for the Houston metro area, prized for its ability to withstand punishing summer sun and high humidity. It is highly adaptable to various soil conditions, including the region's common heavy soils. However, like most Mediterranean-style plants, it requires good drainage to thrive. It will not tolerate standing water or boggy conditions, which can lead to root rot. Once established, it is remarkably drought-tolerant and a magnet for pollinators. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Minimum 6-8 hours for best flowering) |
| Height x Width | 3-4 ft. Tall x 3-4 ft. Wide |
| Water | Low to Medium; water regularly until established, then very drought tolerant. |
| Zones | 8 - 11 (Perennial in Houston; may die back to roots in hard freezes) |
| Fertilization | Use a balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring. Avoid over-fertilizing, which can reduce blooming. |
| Pruning | Cut back by one-third in mid-summer if it becomes leggy to encourage a fresh flush of blooms. Cut to the ground in late winter. |
| Deer Resistance | High (Pungent foliage deters browsing) |
