New Gold Trailing Lantana (Lantana montevidensis 'New Gold') is a vigorous, low-spreading ornamental shrub producing a brilliant, non-stop profusion of rich golden-yellow flower clusters from late spring through the first hard frost. Unlike its Lantana camara cousins, Lantana montevidensis 'New Gold' is a sterile, non-invasive selection that produces no viable seed — making it an environmentally responsible choice for organic gardens and landscapes in areas where lantana self-seeding is a concern. Its strong, spreading trailing habit and pure, saturated golden-yellow color make it one of the most versatile and visually impactful groundcover and container plants available for warm-climate organic gardens.

Grown from our premium organic heritage program, each plant ships with a Professional Grade root system — dense, well-established, and ready for vigorous immediate establishment. New Gold thrives in full sun with well-drained soil and is exceptionally heat, drought, and humidity tolerant once established, delivering relentless season-long golden color through the most demanding summer conditions. Its low, spreading trailing habit creates effective weed-suppressing groundcover, fills containers and hanging baskets beautifully, and cascades dramatically over retaining walls, raised planters, and slope edges with minimal maintenance required throughout the season.

  • Sterile & Non-Invasive Selection — Produces no viable seed, making New Gold an environmentally responsible and garden-safe choice for organic landscapes and gardens in areas where lantana self-seeding is a concern.
  • Pure Saturated Golden-Yellow Color — Rich, unvarying golden-yellow flower clusters deliver bold, consistent color impact throughout the entire season without color shifts or fading even through peak summer heat.
  • Outstanding Groundcover & Spiller Habit — Strong low-spreading trailing form creates effective weed-suppressing groundcover, cascades beautifully over walls and planters, and fills hanging baskets and containers with flowing golden color.
  • Premier Butterfly & Hummingbird Plant — Dense golden nectar-rich flower clusters attract monarch butterflies, swallowtails, hummingbirds, and native bees in extraordinary numbers throughout the long bloom season.
  • Exceptional Heat & Drought Tolerance — Thrives through the most intense summer heat, humidity, and extended dry periods, delivering non-stop golden color when other ornamentals decline or require frequent irrigation.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun (minimum 6–8 hours daily) with well-drained soil — water regularly until established, then reduce frequency as strong drought tolerance develops. New Gold Trailing Lantana is a tender perennial shrub hardy in USDA zones 8–11 and grown as a heat-season annual in cooler climates; plant after last frost for season-long brilliant golden color from late spring through fall frost. Space 24–36" apart for groundcover and landscape use.
