Which lantana do I have?


New Gold -- bright yellow, sterile flowers, spreading habit. This variety named New Gold blooms profusely but NEVER forms berries. The berries that form on most lantanas must removed before more blooms will be produced. This is a revolutionary new development in lantanas that insures this plant will be a continuous beauty rather than a virulent pest with its unwelcomed seedling offspring. But you MUST insist on the New Gold variety; all other lantana varieties exhibit the characteristics which lead botanists to label them with the highly unfavorable specie name of horrida.
