Bandolista™ Red Chili Lantana

Bandolista™ Red Chili is a vigorous lantana with red flower clusters and a mounding, semi-trailing habit. Syngenta lists this exact product at 15–18 inches tall and 24–30 inches wide, flowering from mid-spring through summer. ## Garden Use The breeder recommends the Bandolista™ range for hanging baskets, patio pots, and mixed combinations. Red Chili can spill over a container edge while filling the planting with seasonal color. Syngenta lists it as an annual crop with full-sun exposure, pollinator-friendly flowers, and USDA hardiness zones 10a–11a. The [official product detail](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70096271) identifies the red color, vigorous growth, and exact garden dimensions. ## Growing Conditions Give it a sunny position and well-drained soil. University of Wisconsin Extension notes that lantana performs best in sun and heat and that excess water or fertilizer can reduce flowering. Syngenta describes Bandolista™ as heat-loving and well-branched; its product page also describes the series as sterile variety selections. See [Wisconsin Extension](https://hort.extension.wisc.edu/articles/lantana/) for general lantana care and regional cautions. ## Maintenance Water while the plant establishes and check baskets or pots during hot, dry weather. Trim stems as needed to keep the desired outline, leaving enough room for its 24–30-inch spread.
