This trailing purple blooming lantana is a lower growing type of lantana. It blooms prolifically and takes no care except trimming to the ground if it freezes back. It would maake an excellent addtion to any landscape area that receives full sun, xeriscapes, wildscapes and rock gardens. It especially looks great trailing down rock walls. I have seen it planted right next to chainlink fences which support its branches. Its branches "climb" up the links and it almost looks like a vine. Butterflies love it. It can easily be propagated by stem cuttings and/or simple layering.

For more information, see its entry in the PlantFiles:

My trailing purple lantana is more delicate looking than the other lantana in my landscape. It has smaller leaves and thinner branches.
