I found this lantana growing wild between some of our oak trees. When we bought the cabin, the previous owners had planted several cultured varieties of lantana around the patio — every one of them died when the past two winters turned colder than normal. But this wild version blooms on . . .
This late in the year, the lantana has more berries than blooms on it!
Wild, but hearty! I have lantana in my desert garden, but I've never noticed berries. Mine does not bloom as much as I'd like. Maybe the sparse blooms make the berries less evident. I will go out this evening and investigate!
ReplyDeleteThis plant has way more berries than flowers lately, as shown n the photo I just added!
