Dallas Red Lantana is a compact semi-evergreen perennial that acts as an annual when planted outside with a mounded habit and toothed foliage. The large clusters of multi-hued flower balls open from purplish-red buds to deep yellow flowers that quickly warm to orange then fiery red through summer to mid fall attracting butterflies. Best color in full sun and rich well-drained soil. Drought tolerant once established. Toxic if ingested.
