Description:

Irene Lantana, scientifically known as Lantana camara 'Irene', is a colorful and vibrant perennial plant celebrated for its unique, multicolored blooms. The flowers of 'Irene' display a stunning combination of yellow, pink, and orange, creating a cheerful and dynamic effect that adds visual interest to any garden setting. This variety is particularly noted for its vigorous growth, long blooming period, and its ability to attract butterflies and other pollinators, making it a valuable addition to wildlife gardens.

Growing to about 18 to 24 inches tall and spreading 24 to 36 inches wide, Irene Lantana forms a mounded, somewhat spreading habit. This growth pattern, along with its colorful and profuse blooms, makes it an excellent choice for use as ground cover, in mixed borders, or in container gardens. The plant's foliage is green and provides a lush backdrop for the continuous display of multicolored flowers that bloom from spring through fall.

Adapted to full sun, Irene Lantana thrives in well-draining soil and is notably drought-tolerant once established, making it an ideal selection for xeriscapes and water-wise gardens. It can withstand the challenging conditions of hot, sunny climates and is often used in areas where other plants might struggle.

In landscaping, Irene Lantana is valued for its ornamental appeal and low-maintenance nature. Its compact growth habit makes it suitable for small spaces, and its vibrant, multicolored blooms add significant visual interest to patios, decks, and outdoor living areas. Additionally, its ability to attract pollinators enhances the ecological value of the garden.

Overall, Irene Lantana is a versatile and attractive plant, ideal for adding splashes of vibrant color, attracting wildlife, and creating interest in sunny garden areas. Its ease of care, adaptability to a range of growing conditions, and stunning, multicolored flowers make it a favored choice for gardeners looking to create impactful and sustainable landscapes.
