Lantana
Lantana camara
Lantana is the heat-loving, butterfly-magnet that blooms non-stop from spring through frost. Each flower cluster starts one color and ages to another, creating a multi-color confetti effect. It thrives in brutal heat and drought where other plants wilt. In zones 8-11 it's a woody perennial; in colder zones treat as an annual.

Care Guide
Plant in full sun — the hotter the better. Any soil works as long as it drains. Water to establish, then forget about it. Prune hard in late winter in warm zones. Deadhead occasionally for tidiness. Avoid wet conditions. Butterflies and hummingbirds love it.
