Hot Blooded Lantana is a compact semi-evergreen annual with dense green foliage and prolific blooming. The heavy clusters of flowers go through a transition of vivid shades of colors- opening yellow, to orange, and eventually settling into a solid deep red at maturity- and bloom from spring until frost attracting butterflies. Best color in full sun and rich well-drained soil. Drought and deer tolerant once established. Toxic if ingested.
