While walking through my apartment complex near Walnut Creek, I came across a blooming Trailing Lantana (Lantana montevidensis) near the side of the creek.
According to Austin Native Landscaping, Trailing Lantana is not a native Texas plant, but has adapted well to this area due to it’s drought-resistant behavior. This plant provides food and shelter for bees, butterflies and birds, making it an ideal garden plant. Trailing Lantana is on average 1.5 feet tall, lavender in color, and survives well in both full sun and part shade. For more information about this plant click here.
