Latin Name: Lantana camara ‘Evita’ 

The Lantana ‘Evita’ is a compact, heat-loving perennial (often grown as an annual) prized for its vibrant, multicolored blooms and disease resistance. Growing 12–18 inches (30–45 cm) tall and wide, it’s ideal for containers, borders, and mass plantings.

This dwarf cultivar produces 2-inch (5 cm) flower clusters that change color as they mature, transitioning from yellow to orange to pink. Blooms spring to frost, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds.

Thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. Drought- and heat-tolerant once established. Deer-resistant and low-maintenance.

Perfect for hot, dry climates, pair with purple salvia, blue ageratum, or white verbena.
