Luscious® Citron Lantana

Luscious® Citron is a lantana selection with yellow flowers that change in tone as they open and age. The cultivar patent identifies it as Lantana camara 'Ballany177' and describes dark green foliage with a vigorous, mounded-spreading habit. ## Plant Details The flowers open with brighter yellow near the center and become lighter as they age. The foliage is aromatic, with a strong, spicy scent. The patent records flowering outdoors from spring through autumn and notes that the plant is freely flowering. A Canadian variety description identifies Ball Horticultural Company as the holder and Ball breeder Scott C. Trees as the breeder. ## Growing Conditions Plant in a sunny, warm location with room for a spreading form. The patent’s greenhouse measurements describe young production plants, not mature landscape dimensions, so use the existing 20–30-inch garden size range as a guide rather than treating nursery measurements as full-grown size. It performs best in warm, sunny conditions, with open space around the plant to accommodate its broad growth. ## Maintenance Water during establishment and during extended dry weather, then adjust to local rainfall and soil conditions. Trim back growth as needed to maintain the desired outline, and remove spent flower clusters for a neater appearance.
