Purple Trailing Lantana Plant
The Purple Trailing Lantana plant features showy cymes of lightly-scented purple flowers at the ends of the branches from late spring to mid fall. It has green foliage. The fuzzy pointy leaves remain green throughout the winter.ย This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and should not require much pruning, except when necessary, such as to remove dieback. It is a good choice for attracting butterflies to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats.
Growing Purple Trailing Lantana
- Plant in a location with full sun exposure, ensuring it receives at least 6 hours of sunlight daily for optimal growth and flowering.
- Provide well-draining soil, such as sandy or loamy soil, to prevent waterlogging and root rot.
- Water regularly during the plant's establishment period, then adjust to a moderate watering schedule, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
- Prune regularly to maintain its trailing habit and encourage bushier growth, removing any dead or leggy stems.
- Purple Trailing Lantana is hardy in USDA zones 8-11 and attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies to the garden. It is a versatile plant that can be used as ground cover, in hanging baskets, or as a trailing accent in containers.
