Hello peachie,

I’m afraid I can’t answer your question. I’d suggest an internet search for Lantana toxin. Good luck!

Hello Luis, There is some conflicting information on the medicinal value of Lantana. A pretty good overview is at Gardens Ablaze. It certainly should be viewed with caution because of its toxic properties. Mary

Hi Sasha,

Just remember that Lantana is not invasive everywhere. It is a native species here in Central America and therefore is not invasive here – it’s only invasive in some areas where it has been introduced.

Good luck with the rest of your project!

Anita, Interesting question. I don't know whether Lantana are toxic to birds or not. I've read that all parts of the plant, including the berries, can be toxic, but that not all species are toxic. I have not been able to find any information on the internet (although I've hardly plumbed all the information out there) about toxicity to birds in particular. Most of the discussion is about toxicity to mammals. A couple of sites that discuss toxicity are: from the National Parks and Wildlife Service in Australia, where Lantana camara has become a pest) and the Mount Morgan site, also from Australia, which lists relative toxicity of different species. If you find any information about toxicity to birds, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks.
