Lantana is Lebanese or crimson calypso. This plant is a small evergreen shrub with a woody stem at its base and grows to a height of 1 meter. It is from plants of tropical North America and Africa. It has a cluster with red and yellow flowers that bloom almost year-round. The plant also needs good-draining moist soil rich in organic matter and nutrients. It grows in the sun and partially shaded places. It tolerates frost down to 5 degrees Celsius. The shrub was named wire grass because the fruits release small black seeds with wire-like hairs. Propagation is by seeds, cuttings, or parts of the roots. The plant is toxic and is beautiful in private gardens or public gardens on the edges or as ground cover for its attractive appearance of flowers and seeds. The shrub can be planted with other plants that require regular watering and provide light and nutrients. Using these plants with evergreen foliage gives the impression of tropical areas. Pruning the top of the plant after flowering improves the vegetative growth of the lower parts. Otherwise, the plant requires minimal maintenance.
