Lantana "Dallas Red"

Genus: Lantana.

Species: Lantana camara.

Bought 4 plants on 5-08-08 from Green Shades Greenhouses for $2.79 each. It's the best buy of the summer ! These "shrubby" plants got huge and as long as I deadheaded them every day, they bloom continuously. I'll dig these and try to keep them once more over the winter. I have yet to suceed with that.

The hummers are really enjoying these late August/early Sept. and so do the butterflies. They are my favorite color combination (yellow & red).
