| A co-worker of mine gave me cuttings last spring of some Lantana Camara she was given by some relatives of hers from Texas. Apparently Lantana Camara grows wild on their Texas farm. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what cultivar of lantana camara this is? |

| Oops, when I edited my message it erased my smaller in-message photo. Here is that smaller photo of the lantanas. Sorry about that. |

| If it's growing wild, it may be the species. They were planted all over Texas (and all over the South, I'm sure) by settlers and have naturalized, and it isn't unusual to find them in ditches, abandoned homesites, and empty lots. It may be 100 years old or older, and probably doesn't have a cultivar name. I've seen them in the wild all my life and didn't know they weren't native until a few years ago. We had one at the house I lived in when I was 2-6 years old, and that was many years ago. |

| We usually grow them as annuals here in Kansas, but they have been coming back each spring as perennials for my co-worker who grows them on the south side of her house. Does anyone know what the hardiness range is supposed to be for these wild Texas lantanas? |
