Chapel Hill Yellow Lantana is a cold-hardy, spreading perennial known for its bright yellow flowers and glossy dark green foliage. It is a hybrid, likely a cross between Lantana ‘New Gold’ and Lantana camara ‘Miss Huff’, combining the cold tolerance of the latter with the spreading habit of the former. Flower Color: Bright primrose yellow flowers that bloom in dense clusters. Bloom Time: Flowers cycle from spring or midsummer until the first frost, providing a long season of color Foliage: Glossy, dark green, leathery leaves. Low-spreading, natural ground cover or massing plant, typically reaching about 4 feet in height and width. Cold Hardiness: Exceptionally cold hardy for a lantana, suitable for frost-prone areas like the Piedmont region. Evergreen Status: Evergreen in frost-free climates but deciduous where frost occurs Prefers full sun for best flower color but can tolerate partial shade. Soil: Adaptable to any soil type, thrives best in rich, well-drained soil. Water: Drought tolerant once established; does not require excessive watering. Ideal for flower beds, mass plantings, ground cover, containers, hanging baskets, and urban environments. Attracts butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators. Additional Notes It is a sterile cultivar, so it does not produce berries, which can be beneficial for controlling unwanted spread. Can be trained into topiary forms for accenting borders or container displays. Resistant to common pests and diseases like whiteflies, leafminers, botrytis, and root rot when properly cared for. In summary, Chapel Hill Yellow Lantana is a versatile, attractive, and hardy lantana variety perfect for gardeners seeking a long-blooming, low-maintenance plant with bright yellow flowers and excellent cold tolerance |
