Lantana (Lantana camara)

Flowering Lantana shrubs are found throughout the Alligator Alley Trail in Circle B Bar Reserve located in Polk County in the City of Lakeland Florida U.S.A.

 

The most common lantana is a non-native species, Lantana camara. It is easy to find in local nurseries and garden supply stores. That said, choosing the right lantana variety is not always so simple. The UF/IFAS Assessment of Non-Native Plants lists Lantana camara as invasive. This means UF/IFAS does not recommend it for North, Central, or South Florida. It quickly invades disturbed sites and is toxic to livestock. Gardeners should take care when choosing a lantana for the landscape.
