The Lantana 'Shamrock Orange Flame' is a compact and very floriferous annual, known for its umbels of bright orange flowers with reddish-orange and sometimes golden-yellow hues in the center.
The flowers evolve slightly over time, creating a warm and vibrant multicolored effect on the same plant. Its slightly textured dark green foliage gives off a light aromatic scent when crushed.
Very tolerant of heat and drought once established, it is perfect for full-sun flowerbeds, pots, and summer planters.
Strongly attracts pollinators, especially butterflies
