Lantana camara 'Miss Huff' - Miss Huff Lantana


Lantana was one of the 2003 Georgia Gold Medal Plants of the Year. It is drought resistant, deer resistant, and it blooms all summer long. The flowers fade between yellow, orange, & pink giving a multicolored look. Miss Huff grows large - 5-6 feet tall and up to 10 feet wide so plant at least 6 feet apart. This true perennial lantana has come back yearly for my parents. It takes awhile to leaf out but it grows up fast and seems to get bigger each year! My grandmother likes to comment on all the butterflies that Miss Huff attracts.
