Its spreading, vine-like stems and dense green foliage create an attractive cascading appearance, while its long flowering season provides abundant color throughout the warmer months. This heat-loving ornamental plant is admired for its drought tolerance, fragrant foliage, and ability to attract butterflies and other pollinators. Although well adapted to Florida's warm climate, trailing lantana has significant invasive potential and is not recommended by UF\/IFAS for outdoor landscape planting. Its vigorous growth requires careful containment and maintenance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKey Plant Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-spread=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLantana montevidensis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e ‘Alba’\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCommon Names:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Trailing White Lantana, White Trailing Lantana, Weeping Lantana\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Woody flowering perennial; commonly grown as an annual in colder climates\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Approximately 12–24 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMature Spread:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Approximately 4–6 feet, potentially wider under favorable conditions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Fast-growing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Low-growing, spreading, trailing, and mat-forming\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Small, aromatic, dark green leaves with a slightly textured surface\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Clusters of small white blooms with yellow centers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlooming Season:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Spring through fall, with nearly year-round flowering possible in frost-free conditions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Generally 9–11\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlorida Growing Zones:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Climatically suited to Zones 9–11, but classified as a high invasion risk throughout North, Central, and South Florida\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSunlight Requirements:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Full sun\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecial Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Heat-tolerant, drought-tolerant once established, extended flowering season, and attractive to butterflies and other pollinators\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Care Guide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-spread=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Requires full sun for healthy growth and abundant flowering.
