Carlos Lantana is a compact semi-evergreen perennial that acts as an annual when planted outside with a spreading upright habit and dark green foliage. The large clusters of multicolored blooms open yellow and transition from orange to deep rose pink, and bloom from late spring through summer attracting butterflies. Best color in full sun and rich well-drained soil. Drought tolerant once established. Toxic if ingested.
