Lantana camara ‘Luscious Pina Colada’
Lantana camara 'Luscious Pina Colada' is a shrub verbena with small, round, fragrant flower clusters in yellow and creamy white.
Lantana camara ‘Luscious Pina Colada’, otherwise known as shrub verbena, is an annual that is well worth growing for its perfume and non-stop colour with masses of small round clusters of tubular flowers in creamy white with yellow throats. Drought and heat tolerant once established. Deadhead to encourage more flowers. Pollinators and humans alike are attracted to its citrus-like fragrance. Excellent in borders as mass plantings, in containers and hanging baskets. Low maintenance. Consider as an annual in colder climates though it might be possible to bring inside to a sunny window in winter.
