How nice to hear about your lantanas in the Philippines. The colors sound wonderful. Too bad about the aphids, though.

There are a lot of varieties of this plant in terms of colors now. Here in the Philippines we have fuschia and white, yellow and white. We also have orange, pale yellow, dark bright yellow, and violet in one color. They're very attractive all year round, they look very good when formed into kind of topiary. My only problem is that they easily get infested with aphids so i would have to trim it down to its lowest branches even when in full bloom yet. Thank you for sharing about lantana.

I've never grown it as a garden plant. I see it in the wild here and it is always surrounded by other plants, but that only means that the plants around it are <em>not</em> affected by it. I suppose it is possible that there may be some plants so affected. It would be interesting to do an internet search for that, or better still, grow some in your garden and experiment! Thanks for your question. Mary Hello kflay,

I can see how Lantana would be popular as a cultivated plant. Fun to hear about the new (and old) varieties in west Texas. Thanks, Tex. I can see how Lantana would be popular as a cultivated plant.

I know it likes hot weather and is drought resistant. There is a white variety that is delicate and low-growing in the humid subtropical climate of the southern US. It is useful where alyssum or baby's breath can't take the heat. In the same environment, the more common bi-colored variety can be trained into a low hedge though it is deciduous. A pale lemon-yellow color has been available for over thirty years, and this year we noticed new hot-pink and fuschia colored versions on offer.
