Texas Lantana

Celebrated for its regional ecological value, Texas Lantana (Lantana horrida) is a deciduous Texas shrub native across the Central Great Plains, Chihuahuan Deserts, Cross Timbers, East Central Texas Plains, Edwards Plateau, Gulf Coast Prairies and Marshes, Southern Texas Plains, Texas Blackland Prairies, and Western Gulf Coastal Plain. During Spring, Summer, and Fall, the plant produces orange, yellow blooms. It provides essential nectar, shelter, or forage for native wildlife, including Birds, Butterflies, and Nectar Insects. Thriving in caliche, clay, dry, gravelly, loam, sand, and well drained, Texas Lantana demonstrates outstanding hardiness once established. It requires minimal supplemental water and tolerates dry spells with ease.
