I am a striking tropical flowering shrub, a specific red cultivar prized for its brilliant, showy flower spikes and its ability to bloom profusely in hot, humid conditions.

A cultivated variety, likely a red-flowering form of Lantana camara or a related Lantana hybrid, developed for ornamental use in tropical and subtropical gardens.

Water regularly to establish, then moderately. Drought-tolerant once mature but blooms best with consistent moisture. Avoid overwatering.

Requires full sun (at least 6+ hours daily) for the most vibrant color and prolific flowering.

Thrives in 21-32°C; intolerant of frost.

Plant in well-drained soil; space 60-90 cm apart to allow for bushy spread. Excellent for beds, borders, and containers.

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring and mid-summer to support continuous blooming.

Likely a Lantana camara cultivar such as 'Radiation' or 'Dallas Red'; often called Red Lantana; Family: Verbenaceae.

Toxic to cats, dogs, horses, and livestock. All parts, especially unripe berries, are poisonous if ingested.

Low to Moderate; contributes to garden ecology and is an excellent pollinator attractor.

Provides non-stop, vibrant red color for months; attracts butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds profusely; excellent for hot, sunny, and dry garden spots.

Can be invasive in warm climates; susceptible to whiteflies, spider mites, and powdery mildew.

Perennial in zones 9-11; grown as an annual in colder climates. Can live for several years, growing 0.6-1.2 meters tall and wide.
