Lantana 'New Gold'

Lantana ‘New Gold’ (Lantana × hybrida ‘New Gold’) is a vigorous, sterile lantana renowned for its nonstop display of bright golden-yellow flower clusters from spring through frost. This compact, mounding perennial features lush green, aromatic foliage and forms a dense, spreading canopy of color that attracts butterflies and pollinators while remaining deer- and drought-resistant. Unlike older lantana varieties, ‘New Gold’ rarely produces seed, allowing for continuous flowering without regular deadheading. Ideal for borders, mass plantings, hanging baskets, and containers, it is a hallmark of low-maintenance, sun-loving garden design.

Growing Lantana ‘New Gold’

Light: Requires full sun for best bloom color, density, and continuous flowering.

Soil: Prefers well-drained soil; tolerates sandy, loamy, or rocky soils once established.

Water: Drought-tolerant after establishment, though regular watering during the first season promotes strong root growth.

Fertilizer: Apply a light, balanced fertilizer in spring to encourage vigorous blooms; avoid over-fertilizing.

Pollination: Sterile hybrid; produces minimal to no seed, encouraging extended flowering periods.

Maintenance: Little pruning required—cut back to near ground level in early spring to refresh growth. Deadheading is optional due to sterile blooms.

Hardiness: Best in USDA zones 7–11. Blooms continuously from spring until frost with vibrant golden flowers.
