Description

Another superior creation of world renowned horticulturist Dr. Michael A. Dirr, Chapel Hill Yellow is a cross between ‘Miss Huff’, from where it gets its superior cold hardiness, and ‘New Gold’ Hardy Lantana from where it gets its yellow flowers and low and spreading growth habit of 16 inches tall by 3 feet wide. It is fast growing and quick to flower so gardeners in colder climates north of Zone 7b can enjoy it as an annual or in seasonal flower beds or pots that can be overwintered indoors. Abundant clusters of lemon yellow flowers from spring to frost stand out remarkable well against the deep green, leathery leaves. Definitely one that both the butterflies and hummingbirds will thank you for planting!

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing in a spreading mound 12 to 18 inches tall and about 3 feet wide, Chapel Hill Yellow Lantana is ideal for use in a grouping, mass plantings, as a border along paths and walkways, or to cascade over walls and boulders in sunny landscape borders and home foundation plantings. Its smaller size lends well for use as an accent in smaller garden spaces and pots, planters, hanging baskets and other containers. A fine addition to butterfly and hummingbird gardens, yellow theme gardens, rock gardens, sunny perennial gardens and the Xeriscape (low water needs).

Note: Keep in mind that plants growing above ground in containers are not as cold hardy due to the roots exposure to the colder air temperatures during winter. That said, plants growing in containers can be brought indoors to overwinter in USDA Zones north of 8a.

Suggested Spacing: 2 to 2.5 feet apart for mass plantings; 6 feet or more apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences

CAUTION! Avoid pruning hardy Lantana in the fall as doing so ensures death of the plant! Wait until new growth begins to emerge in spring to remove dead stems. A light pruning or shearing is fine during the summer but cease pruning a month or so before the average first-frost date in your area.

Hardy Lantana are very easy to grow in most any moist to somewhat dry well-drained soil of average to even poor fertility and full to mostly sun. Lantana do not like a constantly soggy or wet soil. Some light shade is tolerated but plants will grow more dense and produce the most flowers throughout the long flowering season (May to Frost) in full to mostly sun. We suggest at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for best performance.
