LANTANA
Lantana camara
SKU: 1483-020
Description
Popular flowering plants with bright and colourful flowers for planters or for the garden! These spectacular shrubby plants have aromatic flower clusters in a mixture of red, orange, yellow, and white florets. The flowers, which are hummingbird magnets, typically change colour as they mature, resulting in inflorescences that are two or three-coloured. Although they are more often seen as specimens and borders around the entrances to hotels in warmer countries, in North America they are just as much at home in a large container outdoors in summer, or in a conservatory. The bunches of black berries which finally appear are much loved by hungry birds too!
An added bonus to the wonderful plants, they repel mosquitos!
Hardiness zones: 7-11
Note: Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
Germination: Start these seeds indoors right away for best germination rates. Your planting container should have holes in the bottom for excess water to drain. Sow the seeds just under the surface a seed-start mix and water in. Keep lightly moist and do not let the soil dry out. Keep at 20-22 °C, 68-72 °F. These seeds are known to be a bit slow to germinate, and should be up in about 21-60 days, but could take as long as 90 days for some seeds.
