Dallas Red Lantana is a vigorous, sun-loving evergreen shrub (grown as an annual in cooler climates) prized for its continuous display of vibrant, multi-colored flower clusters that open in fiery shades of deep red, bright orange, and warm golden-yellow. This exceptional selection from the Lantana family is known for its robust, upright-to-mounding habit, outstanding heat and drought tolerance, and nonstop flowering from late spring until frost. Its nectar-rich blossoms draw butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, making it a standout choice for hot, sunny landscape borders, mass plantings, mixed patio containers, and coastal gardens. With its textured, aromatic green foliage and reliable performance in harsh, dry conditions, Dallas Red offers bold, tropical color and rugged durability with minimal maintenance.
Note: The unripened berries that follow the flowers are toxic if ingested, so plant with care around pets and small children.
Growing Dallas Red Lantana
Light: Full sun; requires strong, direct sunlight to produce the most abundant blooms and develop the deepest, most vibrant red coloration.
Soil: Well-drained soil; highly adaptable to various soil types, including poor, sandy, or rocky soils, but will 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.

I was very impressed with how well my 18 little lantanas were packed. All looked healthy and I planted them yesterday. It was a little difficult unpacking them but that’s the price I paid for having you pack them so well. I was a little worried when I saw UPS coming to the door with the box slung over the driver’s shoulder despite the fact that the box was marked with an ⬆️ and it said live plants. But all is well. Now if I can just keep them alive.
It was my very first plant I order online so I wasn’t sure what to expect but when it got here and in one piece and as long as it is I was shocked but very HAPPY.
It's doing really well. I will be transferring it to a bigger pot probably by the weekend. I wish I had a little more instructions on how to care for this variety, and what to do in the fall.
Package came delivered just like it said it would I pulled it out it looked good. I put it in some water for about a half hour and put it in my 30 gallon tub and I got three things to go with it.
Very healthy cutting. Followed the instructions and let it get acclimated to its new surroundings for a couple of weeks before repotting. Would not hesitate to purchase from this business again 😃
Plants arrived in great condition. This plant has only been in the ground about 10 days and is growing a lot. The plant cage is 12” tall so it’s doing well. I put guards around my new plants for a little while because I have bunnies who love tender young leaves.
I got 2 mystery plants (one indoor and one outdoor). The indoor was a pilea and the outdoor plant was a white blackberry. White blackberry was dramatic, but it’s making a comeback and the pilea is doing great!
Need to upgrade your packaging. I would suggest taping the plant in place in the cardboard tube on the count that it slid and smashed itself. Luckily, it's a strong plant and should recover. Hoping.for the best.
The plant arrived after a few delivery reroutes. It came with three leaves two so far are healthy one was dying and has since died. The two remaining leaves appear to be doing well.
Customer service here is second to none! Very very happy and already made another purchase. But anyway, I ordered 1 and they sent me 2 beautiful babies! I'm so excited to watch them grow!
This little guy came in perfect. Despite the cat knocking it over and being placed in the soup cup for safer keeping, it’s thriving and happy. Once it’s bigger then it will make its way outdoors.
This is my first year of ordering live plants on line. I live in an apt, but have a nice size patio to do container planting. I'm waking up my green thumb and loving it.
