Lantana 'Bandana Yellow'

Bandana Yellow Lantana | Lantana camara ‘Bandana Yellow’ | Shrub Verbena ‘Bandana Yellow’ | Lantana ‘Bandana Yellow’

Bandana Yellow Lantana is a robust, sun-loving evergreen shrub (grown as an annual in cooler climates) selected for its continuous, dense clusters of bright yellow flowers. This high-utility selection from the Bandana series delivers a compact, mounding habit, exceptional heat and drought tolerance, and nonstop flowering from late spring until frost. Its nectar-rich blossoms reliably draw butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, making it a hardworking addition to hot, sunny landscape borders, mass plantings, mixed patio containers, and coastal gardens. Built for performance, Bandana Yellow provides rugged durability and consistent color with minimal maintenance, grounding the garden with reliable plants that nourish the soul through enduring beauty.

Note: The unripened berries that follow the flowers are toxic if ingested, so plant with care around pets and small children.

Growing Bandana Yellow Lantana

Light: Full sun; requires strong, direct sunlight for maximum bloom production and to maintain its tight, compact shape.

Soil: Well-drained soil; highly adaptable to various soil types, including poor, sandy, or rocky soils, but will absolutely not tolerate soggy, waterlogged roots.

Water: Low; water regularly until established, after which it becomes exceptionally drought-tolerant, requiring supplemental watering only during severe, prolonged dry spells. Allow the soil to dry out thoroughly between waterings.

Maintenance: Low maintenance. Deadheading is not strictly necessary but can encourage continuous blooming and prevent energy from going into seed production. A light mid-summer shear can rejuvenate the plant and maintain a dense, bushy shape. 

Wildlife: Highly attractive to butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds; highly resistant to deer and rabbits due to its rough, aromatic foliage.

Hardiness: Perennial in USDA zones 8–11; grown as a fast-growing annual in cooler regions.
