Lantana 'Gem Ruby'
Gem Ruby Lantana | Lantana camara ‘Gem Ruby’ | Gem Series Lantana ‘Ruby’ | Lantana ‘Gem Ruby’
Gem Ruby Lantana is a compact, heat‑loving perennial (grown as an annual in cooler climates) prized for its brilliant clusters of blooms that open with bright yellow and magenta centers before maturing into a rich, deep ruby red. This vibrant selection from the Gem series is known for its tidy, mounded habit, exceptional drought tolerance, and nonstop flowering from late spring until frost. Its nectar‑rich blossoms draw butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, making it a standout choice for pollinator gardens, mixed containers, borders, and sunny landscape beds. With its robust form and reliable performance in hot, dry conditions, Gem Ruby offers bold, dynamic color with minimal maintenance.
Growing Gem Ruby Lantana
Light: Full sun; thrives in heat and produces the most abundant blooms and richest color with strong, direct sunlight.
Soil: Well‑drained soil of any texture; tolerates sandy or poor soils as long as drainage is excellent.
Water: Low to moderate; water regularly until established, then highly drought‑tolerant. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Maintenance: Deadheading is optional—plants are self-cleaning and bloom continuously. Light trimming in early summer can maintain a tight, compact shape.
Wildlife: Highly attractive to butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds; deer‑resistant due to its aromatic foliage.
Hardiness: Perennial in USDA zones 9–11; widely grown as a summer annual in cooler regions.
Shipping Info
