Bandito Orange Sunrise Lantana

Bandito™ Orange Sunrise is a compact lantana with orange, peach and apricot flower clusters, a rounded mounding habit and a tidy 12–14-inch garden profile. Syngenta lists it as a pollinator-friendly color selection in the Bandito™ series, suited to sunny containers and mixed plantings. ## Garden Use The warm flowers give small borders, patio pots and combination planters a bright seasonal accent without taking over neighboring plants. The selection is listed at 12–14 inches tall and wide and flowers from mid-spring through summer. It is sold as an annual crop; Syngenta lists USDA zones 10–11 for the series, so gardeners in cooler climates generally grow it for one season. ## Growing Conditions Give it full sun and well-drained soil. Syngenta describes the series as heat- and drought-tolerant; after establishment, water when the soil begins to dry rather than keeping it constantly wet. Lantana attracts pollinators, especially butterflies. The species can be toxic if eaten, so keep plant material away from children and pets. The exact selection and garden specifications are listed by [Syngenta Flowers](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70003838); [NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/lantana-camara/) provides species-level growing and safety information. ## Maintenance Water regularly while roots establish, then adjust to weather and container size. Remove spent flower clusters if a neater appearance is desired, and check containers more often in hot, windy conditions.
