Lantana montevidensis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Weeping lantana)

Lantana montevidensis is a species of lantana known by many common names, Lantana montevidensis
such as trailing lantana, weeping lantana, creeping lantana, small lantana,
purple lantana or trailing shrubverbena. It is native to South America but it is
present nearly worldwide as an introduced species, and in some areas, such as
parts of Australia, a noxious weed. It is also kept as an ornamental plant for its
plentiful colorful flowers. This is a small strongly-scented flowering shrub with
oval-shaped green leaves. The inflorescence is a circular head of several purple to
lavender to red funnel-shaped flowers with lobed corollas each nearly a
centimeter wide. The fruit consists of a pair of nutlets surrounded by flesh
somewhat like a berry. This plant is toxic to livestock.
