I grow Lantanas regularly now, and they attract various species of butterflies. Cheerful, beneficial plants.

There's a Lantana (L. depressa) that's native to Florida, but it's gold only. If I lived down here, that is the one I would plant. But in my Wisconsin garden, L. camara is fine as a potted annual, since it dies in the late fall.Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-70849107959910915092015-03-08T20:17:48.032-05:002015-03-08T20:17:48.032-05:00Lantanas are so vibrant!

As you say--a great nectar source, beginning in the first months of spring. In my Midwestern garden, Lantanas bloom from May through the first hard frost!Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-68104334742820004682015-03-08T20:15:34.781-05:002015-03-08T20:15:34.781-05:00Hey Shirley: Yes, you were the friend who first dr...Hey Shirley: Yes, you were the friend who first drew my attention to the Auto Awesome videos. Thanks! You've created some really nifty ones. I really enjoyed your holiday lights video. I did one with a squirrel and one with a Cedar Waxwing that turned out OK.
