Lantana produces rounded clusters of tiny, tubular flowers in fiery mixes of yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, and white—often with color-shifting petals as they age. Its rough-textured, aromatic foliage adds to its drought-tolerant, low-maintenance appeal. Blooming from spring through frost, lantana thrives in poor soils, full sun, and intense heat, making it ideal for Oklahoma summers and beyond. It’s a favorite for pollinator gardens, hanging baskets, and erosion control, and it shrugs off deer, drought, and neglect once established.
