Bandana series

|
Bandito series-
Bandito lantanas are the more compact cousins of Syngenta’s Bandana series; “orange sunrise” has orange outer flowers changing to
yellow toward the center of the flowerhead. Low seed production in
all Banditos helps them bloom more freely for longer without
deadheading.

Landmark series- Rose Sunrise does very well in our heat and humidity. It scored a
4.63 of 5 and a Best of the Best Award at the UGA trials in 2008. Taller and a bit rangier than the Lucky series, Landmarks work well
if you have a bit more space to fill. The Landmark and Lucky series
lantanas form far fewer berries than the old-fashioned lantanas,
which accounts for their better performance. Do not plant near
grazing livestock. Foliage can cause dermatitis in some individuals,
BERRIES TOXIC.

Lucky series -
Lucky lantanas are top-notch performers in our southern heat and humidity.
The Lucky series is also more compact and a heavier bloomer than
many of the older varieties. One of the reasons for such exceptional performance is that they set
few seeds, which means they have far fewer berries, and therefore
keep their minds on putting out flowers. Do not plant near grazing
livestock. Foliage can cause dermatitis in some individuals,
BERRIES
TOXIC.

 |
New Gold- One of the
reasons New Gold performs so well is that it is largely
self-sterile, which means it doesn't make many of the berries that
would take its energy away from blooming. Needs 8+ hours of full
sun for best performance; any shade will decrease the number of
flowers significantly. BERRIES TOXIC.

 |
Trailing- A bit slow to
get started in the spring, and they may look a bit stringy at the
outset, but don't be fooled. The trailing lantanas are both
workhorses and showhorses once the weather warms up. Full sun and
adequate feed bring out their best. Very drought-tolerant once
established. BERRIES TOXIC.
