Similar to New Gold in habit and flower power, Buttercream Lantana produces clusters of soft golden yellow flowers that age to creamy white. An excellent Greg Grant introduction with a somewhat more pastel color than that of New Gold. Great for butterflies!We have to say thank you to Greg Grant for sharing this wonderful new introduction with us!Lantana are only second to Porterweed in our garden for their ability to attract butterflies! Lantana are loaded with flower power and normally flower continuously from late spring to frost. This durable and reliable perennial is moderately drought tolerant, deer resistant, salt tolerant, and is generally pest free. For the best results provide your Lantana with an average to well draining soil with average moisture in an area that gets 6 hours or more of sun per day. They can be cut back to near ground level in winter. Provide a protective mulch in winter where hardiness is questionable.
