Unexpected

The largest, most lush lantana blooming in full glory off the trail that parallels the parking lot. What's up with that? Anyone know how this non-native grew to be such a tremendous specimen?

  1. Lantana camara does grow wild in Arizona, but it usually pops up in riparian areas or gardens where it can get extra water. Birds love the berries and are responsible for spreading the seeds. All the wild-growing Arizona lantana plants I've seen have had pink and yellow flowers.
