Dallas Red Lantana, scientifically known as Lantana camara ‘Dallas Red,’ is a vibrant, hardy shrub that showcases clusters of flowers in fiery shades of red, orange, and yellow. This heat-loving plant blooms prolifically from spring through fall, adding bright, cheerful color to gardens, borders, and containers. Known for attracting butterflies and hummingbirds, Dallas Red Lantana is a favorite in pollinator gardens. Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, it is an ideal choice for xeriscaping, bringing vibrant beauty to any landscape with minimal care.
Type of Light: Full Sun
Dallas Red Lantana thrives in full sun and requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day to encourage its vivid blooms. It performs best in hot, sunny locations and can tolerate the intense heat of desert climates, making it perfect for bright garden spots or patio containers.
Watering: Low Water Requirement
Once established, Dallas Red Lantana is highly drought-tolerant. Water deeply every 1-2 weeks during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering during cooler months or when the plant is dormant, as it prefers dry conditions.
Companion Planting:
Dallas Red Lantana pairs well with other drought-tolerant plants such as Agave, Texas Sage, and Desert Marigold. It also complements Bougainvillea and Crimson Lantana, creating a colorful, vibrant landscape. These companions share similar light and watering needs, making for a low-maintenance, water-wise garden.
