Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A vigorous mounding to spreading Lantana that opens deep yellow, fades through orange to near red, and finally to a coral pink all against a backdrop of deep green foliage. Chapel Hill Miss Tara™ adds another color scheme to this popular cold hardy Lantana series from the breeding work of Dr. Michael Dirr and company. The nectar rich flowers attract a myriad of pollinators including butterflies, bees, and other garden beneficials. Use Chapel Hill Miss Tara™ Lantana in medium to large containers and in the garden or landscape. It is vigorous and floriferous enough to be used a summer annual where not cold hardy.
