Lantana 'Passion Fruit'

A tutti-frutti mix of passion fruit, pineapple, apricot and orange, the colours gently blended together in a tropical cocktail – sit back on your patio lounger surrounded by Lantana ‘Passion Fruit’ whilst supping a Pina Colada - this is ultimate holiday-mood plant! This compact, semi-trailing variety will spread and gently spill over sunny baskets, patio containers and tropical bedding displays in borders. The spherical flower clusters are set against a backdrop of small, dark, evergreen leaves and attract a host of pollinators. A tender perennial, it can be grown as an annual or overwintered in a frost-free greenhouse. This energetic little Lantana will never run out of steam, but just keeps pumping out flowers right through to autumn, provided you fertilise regularly and snap off the dead flower clusters before they develop into berries. Other than that, this is a tough-as-nails plant that is heat and drought tolerant. Treat it to a warm, sun-soaked spot. Height: 40cm (16in). Spread: 35cm (14in).
