LANTANA
Lantana is a perennial vining, flowering shrub in warm zones and an annual in places with frosty winters. Fast-growing lantana produces rounded clusters of small, brightly colored flowers in yellow, orange, white, red, pink, blue, or purple and is often used in hanging baskets or ground covers. Lantana grows best in full sun conditions and requires at least six hours of direct sunlight, preferring neutral, well-draining soil and temperatures above 12 degrees celsius.
Lantana camara, or Lantana, is a flowering plant that can be characterized as having a long bloom time with an attractive flower cluster in the range of yellow to red. Lantana is widely used in landscape design in Dubai and throughout the UAE as part of modern garden or villa landscaping due to its ability to provide continuous color and add visual interest in modern garden landscape design (including gardens, parks, and roadside medians). Another reason for its popularity is that Lantana can grow in very hot, sunny climates and will also tolerate drought. Because of this, Lantana is an excellent candidate for sustainable landscape design across Dubai and UAE. Lantana also attracts butterflies and many other pollinators, creating life and movement within residential and commercial landscapes.
Lantana is a widely used plant in landscape design in Dubai because they provide a brightly colored flower display and needs little care, while growing well with consistent heat. Because of their numerous uses in villa landscaping, public areas, and outdoor places needing continuous color, it is possible to incorporate them into nearly all aspects of a structured landscape design.

Sustainable landscape design is important. Lantana is a very easy plant to work with and it works very well in the climate of Dubai because using sunlight on plants, using good quality soil helps them to do that. With the right amount of sun or water and by looking after it (because the plant needs to be pruned), Lantana produces plenty of flowers and stays healthy all year round. Because it is a hardy and versatile plant, Lantana is one of the best flowering plants to use for both public and private landscaping within the entire UAE.
