Bright, bold, and built for the heat, New Gold Lantana (Lantana camara ‘New Gold’) delivers nonstop clusters of vibrant golden-yellow blooms from spring through frost. This fast-growing, low-maintenance perennial is prized for its spreading habit, exceptional drought tolerance, and ability to thrive in hot, sunny landscapes. Its nectar-rich flowers attract butterflies, bees, and other pollinators, making it a standout choice for pollinator gardens, borders, hanging baskets, and mass plantings.
New Gold Lantana forms a dense mound of rich green foliage that stays colorful and tidy throughout the growing season. Unlike older lantana varieties, it produces very few berries, allowing the plant to focus its energy on continuous flowering. Heat-loving and resilient, this variety performs beautifully in coastal gardens, containers, and xeriscape designs where reliable color is needed all summer long.
