Fiesta Picante Lantana is a compact evergreen often treated as an annual with a semi-trailing mounded habit and dark green foliage. The large clusters of hot red buds open to cupped yellow flowers and transition to hot red bloom from late spring until frost, attracting butterflies. Best color in full sun and rich well-drained soil. Drought, heat, humidity, and salt tolerant once established. Toxic if ingested.
