Hot Blooded® Red Lantana

Hot Blooded® Red is a mounding lantana with a vivid red flower display. [Syngenta lists the exact selection as product 70077412](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70077412), with a garden height of 15–18 inches, width of 24–30 inches and hardiness zone 11a. Its medium vigor, full-sun exposure and heat tolerance suit warm-season containers and sunny landscape plantings. ## Landscape Use Use this lantana as a spreading, rounded accent in a large pot or sunny border. Its red flowers bring strong color to patios and mixed beds, while the mounding habit softens edges. The [Syngenta Hot Blooded® Red page](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70077412) distinguishes this classic mounded selection from the separate Mega Red product. ## Growing Conditions Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. Water new plantings regularly while roots establish; mature lantana handles heat and short dry periods. The [North Carolina Extension lantana profile](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/lantana-camara/) notes its pollinator value and cautions that lantana can become invasive in tropical regions. Foliage and unripe berries can harm livestock if eaten, and leaf contact may irritate sensitive skin. ## Maintenance Trim damaged or overlong stems to keep the plant within its allotted area. Water deeply during prolonged dry weather, then let the soil drain. In frost-free climates lantana may persist as a shrub; in colder places it is generally grown as a warm-season annual.
