Lantana

Lantana - S. American plants, usually grown in greenhouses and also in the summer garden. The Verbena-like heads of bloom are rich and varied in color, and range from crimson, through scarlet, orange, and yellow, to white, the colors varying in the same head. They flower freely for about nine months, and are easy to grow, requiring the protection of the greenhouse during winter after being lifted in autumn. Propagated in spring by cuttings or seeds, the plants being grown in rich light soil till planted out in a warm position. There are many sorts grown, and a selection should include Phosphore, Don Calmet, Distinction, Eclat, Victoire, La Neige, Feu Follet, Pluie dOr, Ver Luisant, Ne Plus Ultra, Eldorado, and Heroine. Like many dwarf half-hardy plants, they have various uses in the flower garden, and may be trained as standards. The pretty L. Sellowi is a good dwarf plant; but the odour of these plants is unpleasant, and they are not worthy of much care. West Indies. Verbenaceae.
