That Little Lantana

This Lantana is a ball of color. I love that its buds, new blooms and mature flowers look like a bouquet.

The red could not be redder. No wonder it is named ‘Hot Blooded’ red. It is an annual. I will remember this winner when I look for plants in the spring.

Really red!


I am in Zone 5. I have been learning a new landscape. I picked this plant for its deer resistance.

I save all plant tags to help me find the best performers again.

Hot Blooded Red Lantana

I love lantana because butterflies love it and deer do not. This little annual has been producing blooms since it was put in the ground in June.

It has been the main attraction for a blue pipevine swallowtail butterfly today. The butterfly was too busy eating to notice me taking its photograph.

I appreciate any easy plant that blooms without work from me. This lovely butterfly is a beautiful bonus.
