Lantana 'Firefrost' - 3.5 inch Pots (Minimum Quantity: 25 Plants)
Bring a blaze of color to your garden from late spring until frost with Lantana 'Firefrost'. This eye-catching variety produces abundant clusters of fiery blooms that blend rich shades of red, orange, yellow, and creamy white, creating a striking multicolored display that seems to glow in the summer sun. Butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds flock to its nectar-rich flowers, making it an outstanding choice for pollinator gardens.
Compact, heat-loving, and remarkably drought tolerant once established, 'Firefrost' thrives during the hottest months when many other flowering plants begin to fade. Its dense, mounding habit makes it ideal for borders, containers, hanging baskets, and mass plantings, where it provides continuous color with very little maintenance. In frost-free regions it may persist as a perennial, while in colder climates it is commonly grown as a colorful annual.
Plant 'Firefrost' in full sun and well-drained soil for the best flowering performance. Deadheading is generally unnecessary, though occasional trimming will encourage fresh growth and maintain a tidy appearance throughout the growing season. Whether you're creating a vibrant cottage garden, a sunny patio display, or a butterfly sanctuary, this dependable lantana will reward you with months of brilliant blooms.
