We received some Lantana on Nov 4, 2026.
We bring this in seasonally, so what is on the lot changes week to week. A received date shows when it last came in, not that it is here today.
Call (904) 471-0440 to confirm this plant and size before you make the trip.

Pet safety guideAbout Lantana
Lantana (Lantana camara) is a vigorous tropical shrub producing dense clusters of small flowers that shift color as they age. A major butterfly and pollinator nectar source, it thrives in NE Florida with full sun, heat, and dry conditions. Note: UF/IFAS recommends planting only certified sterile cultivars to prevent invasive spread into natural areas.

Care essentials
Grow in full sun for best flowering and most compact growth. Lantana performs poorly in shade and will produce few blooms. In NE Florida it thrives in open, sunny beds and tolerates reflected heat.
Drought-tolerant once established; water regularly only during the first few weeks after planting. Mature plants need little supplemental irrigation in NE Florida and are very heat and drought tolerant.
Adaptable to NE Florida's sandy, well-drained soils. Fertilize lightly — excessive nitrogen reduces blooming. UF/IFAS recommends selecting only sterile, non-invasive cultivars (e.g., Bloomify™ series) to avoid ecological spread.
