Luscious® Royale Cosmo Lantana

Luscious® Royale Cosmo is a compact, mounding lantana selection with magenta-pink flower clusters and dark green foliage. Proven Winners lists this patented selection at 12–26 inches tall and 12–24 inches wide, with blooms from spring through fall. ## Garden Use The breeder describes Royale Cosmo as an annual in many regions and a tender perennial shrub in warm-winter climates. Use it as a colorful filler in containers, mass plantings, or sunny landscape beds. The [Proven Winners plant detail](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/lantana/luscious-royale-cosmo-lantana-camara) identifies the exact ‘DLANTAN95’ selection, its flower shade, dimensions, USDA zones 9–11, and heat and drought tolerance. ## Growing Conditions Provide sun and well-drained soil; the breeder lists average-to-poor soil fertility and average water needs, while noting strong heat tolerance. It attracts birds, butterflies, and hummingbirds, and deer usually avoid it. NC State Extension cautions that lantana leaves and unripe berries can irritate skin and are toxic if eaten, and that the species may become weedy in tropical climates. See its [species profile](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/lantana-camara/) for regional context. ## Maintenance Water during establishment and monitor pots during hot weather. Proven Winners says routine deadheading is not necessary for this selection; trim lightly only if you want to shape or control the outline. Avoid ingestion and handle foliage and berries carefully.
