Confetti Lantana

One of the things I am able to take credit for in the garden was the intorduction of Lantana.
At first I got some gold lantana after watching a now defunct show on Saturday mornings on the Home and Garden Network.
More on gold tomorrow.

We have several types now this one having multi color flowers. Unlike the gold this one grow to bush size of 5 feet high by four feet across.

The plant, all of them, have an unpleasant aroma. On the positive side the deer hate them and leave them alone. They provide great color all through the summer till the first cold weather when they die off. They come back all by themselves in the spring and sometimes in places where you didn't plant them.
This bush is a good 50 feet from the ones we planted.

Another thing good about them is buttterflys love them.
