More About Mozelle Lantana...

Mozelle is a mid-size deciduous perennial shrub that in our gardens here in Zone 8 of mid-Georgia has grown to about 4 feet tall by about 5 to 6 feet wide. It produces an abundance of bicolor pink and yellow flower clusters that butterflies and hummingbirds will flock to!

Mozelle Lantana is useful anywhere in the sunny landscape on slopes, in perennial or butterfly gardens, or in shrub borders.

***IMPORTANT CARE TIP!!! *** DO NOT PRUNE LANTANA IN THE FALL as this will ensure death of the plant! Wait until new growth begins to emerge in spring to remove dead stems. A mid-summer shearing to remove seedheads is okay.
