{"product_id":"lantana-10-bag-lav","title":"Lantana Lavender - 10\" Grow bag","description":"\u003cp\u003eLantana (Lantana camara) is a tough, fast-growing flowering shrub famous for its rounded clusters of tiny flowers that often change colour as they age, creating a multicolour effect in yellow, orange, pink, red and white. Native to tropical America and naturalised widely in India, it blooms almost year-round and is a magnet for butterflies and bees. Extremely heat- and drought-tolerant, it thrives in full sun with little care and suits borders, hedges, hanging baskets and slopes. Note that it is invasive in many regions and its foliage and unripe berries are toxic to livestock and pets, so grow it responsibly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFamily\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVerbenaceae\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNative region\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTropical Americas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMature height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5-2 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMature spread\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1-2.5 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGrowth rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFast\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFoliage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEvergreen, rough aromatic green leaves\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlower colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYellow, orange, pink, red, white (multicolour)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlower season\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlmost year-round in warm climates\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eClimate zone\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTropical and subtropical\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSunlight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull sun for best flowering.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWatering\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow; very drought-tolerant once established.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSoil \/ mix\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWell-drained soil; tolerates poor soils.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThrives at 15-42°C; frost-tender.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHumidity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdapts to low and moderate humidity.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFertilizer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight feeding; avoid excess nitrogen.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePruning\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrune hard to keep compact and blooming.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRepotting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRepot every 1-2 years when root-bound.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePropagation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCuttings and seed.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePests \u0026amp; problems\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLargely pest-free; occasional lace bug.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eToxicity \/ safety\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eToxic; foliage and unripe berries poisonous.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEasy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrown for borders, informal hedges, slopes and hanging baskets and as a top butterfly nectar plant; choose sterile cultivars where it is invasive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun in well-drained soil; it is extremely heat- and drought-hardy across India and flowers nearly year-round.

Let the soil dry between waterings to avoid root rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much sunlight does it need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLantana needs full sun for the best flowering. In shade it grows leggy and produces far fewer flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs Lantana safe for pets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The foliage and unripe green berries are toxic to pets and livestock if eaten, so keep animals and children away from it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen should I repot it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRepot container plants every one to two years in spring when root-bound, using well-drained potting soil and a larger pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I propagate Lantana?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt grows easily from softwood or semi-hardwood cuttings and from seed. Keep cuttings warm and lightly moist until rooted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy is my Lantana not flowering?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eToo little sun, too much nitrogen or lack of pruning reduce blooms. Give it full sun, feed lightly and prune hard to trigger fresh flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen does it bloom?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn warm climates it flowers almost year-round, with the heaviest bloom in the warm and sunny months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs Lantana invasive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it is invasive in many regions of India. Grow it responsibly, prevent spread of berries, and prefer sterile, non-seeding cultivars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I grow it in a pot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
