Back to buying optionsRed Lantana – Live Flowering Plant | 4 Inch Starter | Bright Red Blooms | Heat & Drought Tolerant | Patio, Container & Hanging Basket Plant
Bring vibrant color and long-lasting summer blooms to your garden with this live Red Lantana starter plant. Known for its bright red flowers, heat tolerance, and mounding to spreading growth habit, lantana is an excellent choice for sunny garden beds, patio containers, borders, and hanging baskets.

💡 Care Tip: After arrival, carefully open the packaging with scissors and avoid pulling on the plant. Give your Red Lantana full sun and well-draining soil. Water regularly while it establishes, then allow the soil to dry somewhat between waterings. Protect from frost and prolonged cold. If the plant arrives with yellowing or little foliage during cooler weather, it may simply be entering seasonal dormancy. Warm temperatures, sunlight, and active-season feeding will encourage new growth.
