I've seen a compact variety at Wal Mart. I've been buying some
of their discard plants, stuff that's not as pretty as it was
"back when".... I never get the stuff in the ground tho. These
are supposed to be low growing.
The biggest problem with the regular Lantana was it grew too
tall. It was really crowding out my crepe myrtle. They have one
variety that's solid orange and from a distance you'd swear it
was a bed of marigolds.
