Lantana is a flowering plant belonging to the verbena family, known for its vibrant clusters of small flowers that can be yellow, orange, pink, or purple. It is native to tropical regions of the Americas and Africa but has become popular in gardens worldwide due to its hardiness and ability to attract butterflies. This plant thrives in sunny locations and well-drained soil, making it suitable for various landscapes, including borders and containers. However, Lantana can be invasive in some areas, outcompeting native plants and disrupting local ecosystems, so careful management is essential.
