Bandito Orange Sunrise

Bandito™ Orange Sunrise is a compact, mounding lantana with clustered orange and yellow flowers that bring warm color through the growing season. Syngenta lists the exact product as Lantana camara and gives a 12–14 inch garden height and spread; Costa Farms describes it as perennial in USDA zones 9–11 and annual in colder climates. ## Landscape use Use this heat-loving selection in sunny borders, mixed containers, or seasonal color plantings where its dense form can soften an edge. The orange and yellow flower clusters stand out against green foliage, and Syngenta identifies the plant as pollinator-friendly. Its compact scale also suits patio pots, though containers dry more quickly than open ground. ## Siting and growth Give it full sun for the strongest growth and flowering. The breeder describes it as compact and mounding, with mid- to late-spring and summer flowering. Mature size varies with climate, season length, and whether the plant is grown as an annual or a frost-free perennial. In cooler regions, treat it as warm-season bedding rather than expecting it to overwinter outdoors. Lantana prefers warmth and well-drained soil. Water after planting and while roots establish, then adjust irrigation to heat, rainfall, and soil moisture; do not let a pot remain waterlogged.

In frost-prone climates, discard or compost it at season’s end, or overwinter it only where protected conditions are practical. In frost-prone regions, grow it as warm-season bedding rather than expecting it to overwinter outdoors.
