Why Grow Lantana in the UAE

Lantana is one of the most heat- and drought-tolerant flowering plants for the UAE, blooming almost non-stop with minimal care. Available in upright bushy and trailing forms, it is excellent for borders, groundcover, low hedges, slopes and hanging baskets, and its nectar-rich flowers are a powerful magnet for butterflies and bees.

Care Tips for the UAE

• Sunlight: Full sun for the most prolific flowering.
• Watering: Moderate watering; very drought tolerant once established.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do the flowers have several colours? Lantana blooms often open one colour and age to another, so a single cluster can show yellow, orange, pink and red together.

Are the berries safe? No — the unripe berries are toxic if ingested, so plant where children and pets cannot reach them.
