The Bandana series of lantanas has now been on the market for several years. It was the first group of smaller-growing, smaller-mounding type varieties.
These are attractive plants and offer new options in lantana selection for the Louisiana landscape. The Bandana series offers a few new colors in lantana flowers. In addition, the growth habit is restrained, and mounding makes for an attractive appearance. Plants grow 16-18 inches tall with an equal width.
Varieties include Cherry, Cherry Sunrise, Orange Sunrise, Trailing Gold, Red, Rose, Peach, Light Yellow and Lemon Zest. Lantanas need full sun and are very drought-tolerant.
Bandana lantanas are LSU AgCenter Louisiana Super Plants.
