Lantana, Bandana Pink - Trio of 3 plants

The Bandana series of Lantana camara is a colorful crew of heat-loving annuals that’ll turn your Indiana Zone 6a garden into a butterfly bonanza—no passport to the tropics needed! These gardener favorites demand full sun (6+ hours daily)—shade makes them sulk like a sunbather stuck indoors. They grow into mounded, branching shrubs 12-26 inches tall and 12-24 inches wide, perfect for patio pots, beds, borders, hanging baskets, or as spillers in mixed pots. Blooming nonstop from planting (late spring) until frost, their umbel clusters keep pumping out flowers with little deadheading—talk about low-maintenance royalty!

Bandana lantanas are champs: drought tolerant once established, they laugh off dry spells and poor soil like camels at a water park. Pollinator-friendly to the extreme—especially butterflies—they’re a nectar magnet for monarchs, swallowtails, bees, and hummingbirds, turning your yard into a winged rave. Heat- and humidity-tolerant, they thrive in Indiana summers. Deer-resistant and self-cleaning, they’re practically “plant it and forget it”—until the butterflies show up!

‘Cherry’ delivers rich cherry-red blooms with yellow throats, like a fruity cocktail that’s all party, no hangover—bold and classic for a sizzling pop.

‘Cherry Sunrise’ steals the show with multi-ringed clusters: yellow centers ringed by apricot, pink, and outer crimson—like a floral sunrise that forgot to fade, adding dynamic, ever-changing drama.

‘Gold’ blasts pure golden-yellow umbels, bright as a summer sunbeam—cheery and glowing, perfect for lighting up shady corners (wait, no shade allowed!).

‘Pink’ flaunts soft to bubblegum-pink flowers, sometimes with yellow accents—like cotton candy on a stick, sweet and flirty for a romantic vibe.

‘Red’ fires up intense scarlet-red clusters, bold as a firecracker—pure heat for when you want your garden to shout “look at me!”

Plant Bandana lantanas in well-drained soil, water until rooted, then let them tough it out. Your Zone 6a yard will buzz with butterflies while you kick back—these sassy stars do the work, leaving neighbors jealous of your “effortless” tropical oasis!
