Cultivation
Lantana Pollinator Cultivar
Lantana camara L.
For Lantana camara, the concept of a pollinator cultivar does not apply, as the species is self-compatible. Plants are capable of setting seeds independently without the need for cross-pollination with other cultivars.
In the reference 7 varieties crop Lantana, where this is mentioned in the description.
Lantana camara possesses the ability for autonomous self-pollination and geitonogamy, which ensures successful fruiting without the participation of additional cultivars. There is no biological necessity for selecting a mate for cross-pollination in this species.
Although lantana is capable of insect-mediated cross-pollination, this process is not mandatory for seed formation. The mechanism of flower color change following pollination is directed toward optimizing insect visitation to inflorescences rather than the selection of a specialized pollinator partner.
