Description
Looking for a summer flowering powerhouse? Luscious Grape Lantana delivers wave after wave of grape clusters of flowers despite heat and drought. The lavender purple flowers have white eyes which light up the plant from within. Luscious Grape’s blooms and fragrance make this plant a hummingbird and butterfly magnet! The trailing habit of this Lantana makes this a great option to cascade over walls, rock gardens, combination containers or hanging baskets.
This variety is perennial in USDA Zone 9a and further south however can be grown in pots that can be overwintered indoors in zones north of 9a.

Excellent as a solo or mixed with other sun-loving plants in container gardens. A fine addition to butterfly gardens, hummingbrd gardens, cottage gardens and purple theme gardens.
Suggested Spacing:Â Â 18 inches apart for mass plantings; 36 inches apart for space between plantsÂ
How To Measure Total Square Feet Of A Planting Area
How Many Plants Needed To Cover A Planting Area?
Note:Â For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 9a, where this Lantana variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Lantana are exceptionally easy to grow in most any moist but well drained soil of average fertility and full to mostly sun. We suggest at least 6 hours of direct sunlight for best flowering. When growing in a container make sure to use a container with a hole(s) at the bottom and a quality potting soil or potting mix, or a 50/50 mix thereof. Maintenance is minimal. You can deadhead or shear the plant after the first flush of flowers and that’s about it until you cut it back the next spring.
This variety is perennial in USDA Zone 9a and further south however can be grown in pots that can be overwintered indoors in zones north of 9a.
