Lantanas are the work horses of summer gardens all across the South. Their ability to withstand heat and drought while continuously producing butterfly-attracting brightly colored flower clusters are the reasons why they are sought after. Some varieties stall a bit in their flower production when they load up with their small black fruit. You don’t have to worry about that with New Gold Lantana as it is a sterile selection. Any time you have a sterile plant, you get more blooms because no fruit is produced. You also do not have to worry about the plant seeding out. Not eaten by deer or rabbits, New Gold is a garden standard with its gorgeous golden yellow flowers.
