Plant Profile: Lantana camara 'Miss Huff'

'Miss Huff' stands out as the most resilient lantana variety, making it an excellent option for mass plantings along rocky terrains or slopes, and it thrives in patio containers as well. This plant often retains its leaves year-round and produces intermittent blooms during the mild winters typical of southern climates. Its vibrant orange flowers impart a distinctly tropical ambiance. Once established, it requires minimal upkeep, demonstrating remarkable tolerance to both heat and drought, while rapidly filling available space. This makes it a superb choice for cottage gardens, foundation plantings, or shrub borders.

However, it's important to note that the leaves may cause slight skin irritation, and the unripe berries are toxic if ingested. Additionally, it poses a risk to livestock, including cattle, sheep, horses, and goats.
