From early summer to first frosts, Lantana camara ‘Evita Scarlet’ produces verbena-like, almost globular clusters of tiny trumpet-shaped blooms which change colour from yellow to red. As each flower in the cluster opens at a different time, the whole range is always seen, giving an amazing tri-coloured effect.Perfect for pots or the front of a bright summer border, the colourful blooms almost seem to glow against a bed of aromatic, lush, evergreen foliage. Deadhead blooms frequently to ensure a constant stream of colour. Known commonly as ‘Jamaican Mountain Sage’, Lantana camara ‘Evita Scarlet’ is compact and bushy, reaching a mature height and spread of around 30cm. Drought and heat tolerant once established, it is happiest in a south facing, sunny position and has been classed as warm temperate H1C by the RHS, so will need protection over winter.
