Summary

Description
English: Lantana camara, commonly known as West Indian Lantana, is a flowering plant native to the American tropics. It belongs to the Verbenaceae family and is well-known for its vibrant and multicolored flower clusters. The plant typically grows as a shrub and can reach heights of up to six feet.

The West Indian Lantana is valued for its ornamental qualities, with its dense clusters of small, tubular flowers that come in a range of colors, including shades of yellow, orange, red, and pink. The plant blooms throughout the year in warm climates, making it a popular choice in gardens and landscapes.

While appreciated for its aesthetic appeal, the West Indian Lantana has also been considered invasive in some regions. It can spread rapidly and outcompete native vegetation, leading to concerns about its impact on local ecosystems. Despite this, its resilience, adaptability, and attractive flowers continue to make it a widely cultivated plant in many parts of the world.
