Yellow Lantana is a staple for the Houston metro area, specifically prized for its ability to bloom through the harshest summer heat. While it is incredibly tough, it performs best in loose, well-draining soil. In areas with heavy clay, we recommend planting on a slight mound or amending the soil with organic matter to ensure the roots do not stay saturated during heavy Gulf Coast rain events. Once established, it is remarkably drought-tolerant and easy to maintain.
Exposure
Full Sun (Essential for heavy flowering)
Height x Width
1-2' Height x 2-3' Width
Water
Low to Moderate; drought tolerant once established
Zones

Fertilization
Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring
Pruning
Cut back by 1/3 in mid-summer if leggy; cut back to 6" in late winter
