Yellow Lantana is a heat-loving tropical perennial producing clusters of bright golden-yellow flowers continuously from spring through frost. One of the toughest and most reliable plants for Central Texas, it thrives in poor soils, extreme heat, and drought once established. It is a premier butterfly and pollinator plant and a staple of low-maintenance Austin landscapes.
At Flying Rabbit Farm, our Yellow Lantana transplants are grown for strong root systems and outstanding heat and drought performance suited to Central Texas.
