Lantana montevidensis is an evergreen/semi-evergreen shrub with a low, spreading habit and featuring dark green, serrated leaves and clusters of purple flowers. Long-lasting blooms start from spring through fall (year-round in completely frost-free zones). Foliage is strongly aromatic. While evergreen in most mild to hot climates, in cold temperatures, the leaves can take on a dark purple color. It can lose it leaves or dieback in very cold climates. Uses include groundcovers, mass plantings, low barriers, containers, erosion control. Excellent in seacoast and desert landscapes. Very tolerant of urban conditions. Medium water use when installed and acclimating; Low water user once its root system establishes. It is highly adaptable to soil conditions; thrives in almost any well-draining soil, from poor and rocky to sandy. Low shade tolerance; it requires full sun for best bloom. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to 20°F.
