Lantana: The Wild Beauty That Refuses to Quit
It grows on roadsides, feeds butterflies, and survives brutal heat with zero care.
Walk down almost any sun-baked lane in India and you will spot Lantana camara — a plant so tough it thrives where almost nothing else will.
A magnet for pollinators
Lantana flower clusters are a butterfly buffet. The blooms change colour as they age.
Love it in a controlled pot — never dump garden waste containing Lantana into wild areas.
If you grow it responsibly
- Light: Full sun.
- Water: Drought tolerant once established.
- Pruning: Trim to control spread.
