A trailing shrub bearing dense clusters of small tubular purple flowers.
Flowers: small, bilaterally symmetrical, with narrow tube and flared top; pinkish to light purple with paler throat; in dense rounded clusters.
Leaves: 1" (2.5 cm) long; rough-surfaced and coarsely toothed.
Height: 18-36" (45-90 cm); trails along ground.
This garden plant has escaped from cultivation and is growing naturally in some areas of the United States. It is considered an invasive plant in the Southeast, but is not as noxious as some of the other non-native Lantana species.
