Chapel Hill Gold Lantana can be useful in the landscape in mass plantings, in containers or planters, as a border or edger, around decks, swimming pools, and other outdoor living areas, as a groundcover, in landscape beds or islands, to accentuate entryways, in small groupings or in medians and also in rock or xeriscape gardens, theme gardens, cottage gardens, butterfly gardens or perennial gardens.
Chapel Hill Gold is a Dr. Mike Dirr creation that is a sport from Chapel hill Yellow which was cross between 'Miss Huff' (the most cold hardy of all Lantana) from which it gets its superior cold hardiness, and 'New Gold' Hardy Lantana from whence it gets its bright yellow flowers and low and spreading growth habit of 16 inches tall by 2 to 3 feet wide. It is fast growing and quick to flower so gardeners in colder climates can enjoy it as an annual.
The dense,golden yellow flower heads of Chapel Hill Gold are numerous florets that sit atop leathery, dark green ovate leaves. The plant flowers continuously from spring until the frost!
Culture & Care Tips
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.
Lantana is exceptionally easy to grow in well-drained soil and full sun. A little light shade is okay. Constantly soggy soil is a killer.
Great product and customer service great. Replaced a dead plant without any problem.
The plants arrived healthy and they are growing and looking good.
Thanks Debra!
