Dallas Red is Hot

Written by Jackie D'Elia  |  Published on August 22, 2009

I love this Dallas Red Lantana (Lantana camara  ‘Dallas Red’) I bought this summer. I had never seen this color before until I stumbled upon it at a local nursery.   I potted them in a terra cotta windowbox container and they are thriving, even in this summer heat of 100+ degree days. Granted I do protect them from the afternoon sun.

lantana-dallas-red-4Some Lantana I have planted in the past, look awful by the end of the season. They become dry, brittle and the leaves curl a bit. I hope this ones sticks around. It seems perfect for my new container garden.

      Thank you. It is one of the prettiest Lantana that I’ve seen. I am really enjoying it.

    I love Lantana, but I’ve never seen that dark red version before. I’m enjoying Lantana Carlos this year, with party-like bright colors.
