Lantana camara 'Firefrost', commonly sold as Lantana 'Firefrost', is a low, naturally spreading selection with hot-season flower power and unusual cold resilience for lantana. Plants reach about 12 to 18 inches tall and can spread 24 to 36 inches wide, creating a broad mound for sunny beds, slopes, containers, and mass plantings. Deep magenta-red flower clusters are joined by sporadic golden blooms, giving the plant a warm, multicolored display.

Use it where you want long-lasting color, pollinator traffic, and a tough plant for exposed sunny sites. The flowers can appear from spring and summer into fall, with a longer season in frost-free regions, and they attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators. Its spreading habit lets it function as a low groundcover or front-of-border accent, while the aromatic foliage and bright bloom clusters suit patios, poolside plantings, and drought-tolerant gardens.

Plant Lantana camara 'Firefrost' in full sun and average, well-drained soil. Once established, it handles heat, dry periods, salt exposure, and poor soil better than many bedding plants, but regular water during the first season helps build a strong root system. Avoid soggy soil and excessive fertilizer, because too much lush growth can reduce the clean, flower-filled habit. In colder regions, grow it as a seasonal annual or in a container that can be protected.

Prune or shear lightly to shape the mound and remove spent bloom clusters when you want a cleaner look. In warm climates where lantana can persist, follow local guidance and manage unwanted spread. Deer generally avoid the foliage, and the plant is especially useful where reflected heat challenges softer perennials. With sun, drainage, and occasional trimming, this selection gives you a wide, colorful mound for beds, containers, and waterwise landscapes.
