Orangie Lantana camara


This orange reddish Lantana was taken in Langkawi's Crocodile Farm. Notice how beautiful its dark green leaves are. Fine and evergreen. It grows on moist, well drained soil in full sun. Note that these Lantanas lack winter hardiness. Which is why it's quite a common perennial here in Malaysia averaging 30 degree celcius. Other colors include red, purple, yellow or white. Will post more Lantana camara here once I get more pics of it.
