Getting to know Lantana

Lantana is a genus of perennial flowering plants native to regions of tropical Americas and Africa. However, the beautiful plant has become an invasive species in the United States, especially in the southeastern region. Lantana grows in disturbed areas, and it spreads rapidly due to its ability to produce small, attractive berries that birds and animals quickly consume and then spread throughout the landscape.

Once established, Lantana can form dense thickets that can choke out native plant species, reducing biodiversity and altering the ecological balance of an area. It has also been found to be toxic to livestock and other animals that consume its leaves and stems. Consequently, many states in the US have listed Lantana as a noxious weed, and there are ongoing efforts to control its spread through various methods, including herbicides and mechanical removal.
