Lantana Plant Height

Lantana camara L.

The height of a lantana bush is a key morphological descriptor, ranging from 30 cm in compact container varieties to 3 meters in wild species found in tropical regions.

In the reference 17 varieties crop Lantana, where this is mentioned in the description.

For lantana, plant height serves as an indicator of potential growth vigor and a primary criterion for selecting the plant's intended use. In variety testing, the genetic variability of this trait can range from 85 to 215 cm, while breeding forms intended for indoor landscaping are more often limited to a height of 30–50 cm.

This trait is highly dependent on growing conditions and requires correction through pinching to prevent stem exposure. Height regulation is of agronomic importance for managing the invasiveness of the species: breeding programs are focused on developing low-growing sterile triploid forms that are less prone to forming aggressive thickets.
