Lantana camara Chapel Sunny Side Up

The Lantana Chapel 'Sunny Side Up' is part of a new series of relatively hardy, flowering and compact-habit hybrids from America. This one forms a bush with a large spreading habit, tirelessly producing umbels of colour-changing flowers, where yellow and white mingle. They are pleasantly fragrant, as is the dark glossy green foliage. The Lantana 'Chapel Hill', robust and undemanding, are evergreen in mild climate and easy to incorporate into flower beds where they bring a beautiful touch of colour from June to October.

Hardy up to zone 8, resistant to frosts of -12°C (10.4 °F), or even more, in well-drained soil, once well established, the Lantana camara Chapel Hill 'Sunny Side Up' can be planted in open ground and remain there all year round, as it is really undemanding about the nature of the soil. It can be associated in a very well-drained bed with exotic perennials such as Hesperaloe parviflora and Epilobium canum 'Western Hills', or other small flowering bushes such as Helianthemum, carnation bushes, lavenders, cistus, or Salvia greigii. In a cold climates, this plant is grown in pots or planters. The Lantana cheerfully blend with blue flowers, like those of Peruvian heliotropes, Ageratum or Plumbago capensis. It can also be planted in the border, in front of a bed of agapanthus, Callistemons or gauras in a fairly dry location.
