| Botanical Name | Lantana montevidensis |
| Description | A versatile groundcover for the Willis and Houston area, 'Trailing Lavender' is prized for its long-blooming purple flowers and low, spreading habit. It excels at cascading over retaining walls or providing a dense carpet in sunny beds. While heat-hardy, it requires sharp drainage in our local clay; planting on a slope or in a raised area is highly recommended to prevent root rot during wet Southeast Texas winters. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Necessary for best bloom density) |
| Height x Width | 1 ft. Tall x 3-6 ft. Wide (Spreading habit) |
| Water | Low once established. Very drought-tolerant but needs good drainage to handle heavy Houston rains. |
| Zones | 8b - 11 (Root-hardy perennial in the Houston region) |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. Avoid heavy nitrogen to ensure maximum flower production. |
| Pruning | Trim back in early spring to remove freeze damage. Can be sheared occasionally in summer to maintain a tidy shape. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
