Learn how to care for your green friend

Lantana

Lantana camara

Seasonal plants · Planned variety

Meet your green friend.

Rounded clusters of warm-coloured flowers bloom above textured green leaves through summer.

A space where it can thrive

Grow outdoors in a position suited to the plant. Containers need drainage and closer moisture checks than garden beds.

Ask about availability

Availability, size, pot and price will be confirmed in store. Pictures illustrate the plant type.

Outdoor seasonal basket

Growing in a hanging basket

Choose a spreading basket-suitable selection. Provide sun and free drainage, and move to frost-free protection before Canadian cold weather arrives.

Use a container with drainage and a secure support rated for its fully watered weight. Check moisture at the root ball and empty collected drainage water.

Your care routine

Light

Full sun for the best flowering.

Watering

Water while establishing, then allow the surface to dry between thorough waterings; avoid waterlogging.

Soil & drainage

Well-drained soil; use container potting mix in pots.

Fertilizer

Feed only as needed during active growth, following the fertilizer label.

Outdoor hardiness

Usually a summer annual in Canada; do not assume an unnamed cultivar is winter-hardy.

Humidity

Allow air to circulate between plants. Water the soil rather than wetting foliage.

Through the seasons

Move retained plants to a bright frost-free space before cold weather.

When your plant needs help

  • Whiteflies and spider mites can become troublesome indoors.

Pets & little ones

Harmful if eaten. Keep leaves and berries away from children and pets; sap and foliage may irritate skin.
