Lantana camara Lucky Yellow Improved

The Lantana 'Lucky Yellow Improved' is a floriferous variety ideal for flowerbeds, borders, or pot displays. Its bright yellow flowers gathered in dense clusters brighten the garden with their continuous intense colour from June to October. This recent introduction stands out for its compact and well-branched habit, perfect for adorning flowerbeds, pots, or even hanging baskets. Its abundant and prolonged flowering combined with its heat resistance makes it a valuable asset for sunny gardens.

Native to the tropical and subtropical regions of America, the Lantana camara or Lantana, belongs to the verbena family. This plant is widely cultivated in temperate climates as an annual due to its low hardiness (down to -6°C to -7°C). Extremely floriferous and undemanding, Lantana have become a favourite among gardeners who love colour and easy-to-grow plants. The 'Lucky Yellow Improved' variety reaches a modest and even size of 40 cm in height and width. Its compact and well-branched habit makes this variety a perfectly balanced plant requiring no staking. Its quadrangular stems bear dark green, deeply veined, slightly rough leaves that contrast beautifully with its bright flowers. The rounded inflorescences measure about 4 to 5 cm in diameter and are fomed of small, tubular, bright yellow flowers that retain their brilliance even in full sun and hot weather.

Easy to grow, this Lantana thrives in full sun and in well-drained, even poor or sandy soil. Once established, it requires little watering and is resistant to periods of heat and moderate drought. To encourage continuous flowering, simply remove faded flowers regularly. The 'Lucky Yellow Improved' pairs well with the flowers of annual lobelia, with lavenders, common vervain, catmints, or light grasses like stipa tenuissima. In pots, it can be paired with white or purple Petunia to create a striking contrast.
