Nice picture Dodge! I, too, like lantana, and it's a plant the deer do not like to eat because of the way it smells. But the hummers and butterflies like it, so I always get a pot or 2 each summer. The colors you chose are so bright and cheerful!
I love lantana too. I remember it being very popular when I was growing up in S. FL. I had some here in a pot as an annual last year and enjoyed it very much but forgot to plant some for this year. Maybe I should keep a journal so I'll remember what I like.
very nice lantana. speaking of lantana. I have some wild lantana that I put in my veggie garden. I hadn't thought much about it being there, but it has gotten SO big this year. Is it safe around veggies?

same colors as yours hot rod! I read where perinials (lantana is a perinial here) are good to put in your garden to keep the soil loose. I put a lantana in there without even thinking if it was safe around veggies. It does put off a smell, but then again so do tomatoes. ha ha I've had it in there for about a year ago and no one has died yet??
