Texas Gardening: Lantana - horrida or camara?, 0 by Loonie1

It is very confusing, though, isn't it? The Lantanas that I think are Horridas are blooming and berrying like crazy. The berries do resemble big blackberries, and the Mockingbirds just love them. I bought several Horridas from Rohde's this spring and one is definitely a Camara - it's pink/yellow, very compact (unlike the sprawling, massive Horrida), and isn't berrying much at all.

The lantana below was huge last year and berried like crazy. But all the rain we had over the winter coupled with very bad drainage killed him. He left lots of offspring, however, and they are now very big and healthy. I thought they were all Horridas, but after doing a little bit of research I wasn't so certain anymore. Josephine, thanks for the input. I will go home tonight and give them the "crush/smell" test .
