Our 2016 Summer Sale has just begun and we have marked down over 100 plants including our Lantanas just as the pollinator populations are getting ready to peak. These heat and sun loving perennials produce continuous waves of colorful nectar rich flowers from late spring and into fall attracting all manner of butterflies, bees, and even hummingbirds. You can enjoy them in the garden as well as up close in containers and they revel in the heat and sun of summer. New Gold, Red Spread, Silver Mound, Red Butler, Dallas Red, and the Bandana series Lantanas are nearly sterile and so spend all of their energy on flower production instead of seed and fruit production. Lantana make for low maintenance reliable perennials in zone 8 with the hardy Miss Huff, Chapel Hill Yellow, and Chapel Hill Gold pushing those boundaries well into zone 7. Give these flower making machines a whirl and your thirsty pollinators will be sure to thank you!

At Almost Eden we specialize in beautiful, unusual, and hard to find plants including a variety of native plants.
