Lantana x ‘New Gold’ is a popular and vigorous Lantana cultivar known for its bright golden-yellow flower clusters and spreading habit. Here is a breakdown of its key features and growing requirements:

Characteristics:

• Flowers: Produces abundant clusters of small, bright golden-yellow flowers that bloom profusely from spring to fall. The flowers are sterile, meaning they do not produce seeds, which contributes to their long blooming season.
• Growth Habit: A low-growing, spreading shrub that typically reaches 12-18 inches tall and 2-3 feet wide.

Its trailing growth habit makes it suitable for use as a groundcover or in hanging baskets.

• Foliage: Dark green, ovate leaves with a slightly rough texture. The foliage is evergreen in frost-free climates.
• Hardiness: Hardy in USDA zones 7-11. In colder zones, it can be grown as an annual or overwintered indoors.

Cultivation:

• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun (at least 6 hours per day) for optimal flowering.
• Soil: Adaptable to various soil types but prefers well-drained soil.
• Water: Drought-tolerant once established but benefits from occasional watering during prolonged dry spells.
• Pruning: Can be pruned lightly to shape or control its spread. In colder climates, prune back hard in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.
• Fertilizer: Generally not required, but a light application of balanced fertilizer in spring can be beneficial.

Landscape Uses:

• Groundcover: Excellent for covering large areas, suppressing weeds, and preventing erosion.
• Hanging Baskets and Containers: Its trailing habit creates a beautiful cascading effect.
• Borders and Edging: Adds a bright pop of color to garden beds and pathways.
