Yellow Lantana - Samantha Lantana Live Plants (5-9") - Pack of 2 (TWO) - Rare Variegated Lemon Foliage - Hardy Zone 7-11

What You Will Receive: You will receive a premium pack of 2 Live Lantana 'Samantha' Starter Plants, currently standing 5-9 inches tall. These vigorous, well-rooted saplings are shipped in their grow pots/plugs (not bare root) to ensure the root system remains hydrated and are ready for immediate planting in larger containers or directly in the ground.

Double the Color, All Season Long: Why settle for just pretty flowers? 'Samantha' is prized for its rare variegated foliage. The leaves feature a stunning chartreuse-yellow border around a deep green center, meaning this plant "glows" in your garden even when it isn't blooming. Topped with bright lemon-yellow flowers, it offers a high-voltage color display that never fades.

Compact & Versatile: The perfect fit for any space. Unlike unruly wild varieties, 'Samantha' maintains a tidy, mounding habit (2-3 feet tall/wide). This makes it the ultimate choice for border edging, rock gardens, or decorative patio containers where you need a neat, colorful accent that won't take over.

The "Sterile" Super-Bloomer: Enjoy more flowers with less mess. 'Samantha' produces little to no berries (seeds), which means the plant channels all its energy into producing non-stop blooms from spring until frost. It also makes it a cleaner choice for walkways and patios compared to berry-producing varieties.

Indestructible Summer Performance: Perfect for the "forgetful" gardener. This plant thrives on neglect and loves the heat. It is exceptionally drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and salt-tolerant. While other flowers wilt in the dog days of summer, 'Samantha' explodes with color, acting as a beacon for butterflies and hummingbirds.

Guarantee & Secure Shipping: We utilize professional, eco-friendly packaging to secure the delicate foliage and root system during transit. Care Instructions: Upon arrival, unbox immediately and water well. Keep in a shaded area for 24-48 hours to recover from travel stress before moving to a sunny location. Satisfaction guaranteed.

The Plant That Glows, Even Without Blooms

Most plants are just green backgrounds until they flower. The Lantana 'Samantha' breaks the mold. This rare, variegated variety is a showstopper from the moment leaf buds appear. Each leaf is artistically edged in bright lime-yellow, creating a luminous, golden effect that lights up garden beds and patio pots. When the abundant clusters of lemon-yellow flowers emerge, the result is a monochromatic masterpiece of sunshine and gold.

A Pollinator Magnet That Deer Detest

Create a sanctuary for nature without inviting the pests. The nectar-rich yellow blooms are irresistible to Swallowtail butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, turning your yard into a bustling eco-system. Meanwhile, the aromatic foliage is naturally unappealing to deer and rabbits, ensuring your landscape stays pristine without the need for fencing or chemicals.

Hardy, Heat-Loving, and Hassle-Free

'Samantha' is as tough as she is beautiful.

Zones 7-11: Plant it in the ground as a reliable perennial. It survives mild winters (root hardy to Zone 7 with mulch) and returns bigger and brighter every spring.

Zones 3-6: Use it as your high-performance summer annual. It laughs at 100°F days and requires minimal watering once established, making it the perfect low-maintenance solution for busy homeowners.

Unlike traditional Lantana camara, 'Samantha' sets very few berries. This means no messy cleanup on your deck and, more importantly, continuous blooming power right up until the first frost.
