My daughter’s Mother’s Day gift keeps on giving. I didn’t know about lantanas before…now I can’t get enough of them. Thank you, dear Charlotte!

Thank you! They were such a sweet present from my daughter and my husband bought more to plant in the yard. My other daughter, for Mom’s day, gave me a beautiful bouquet that lasted a couple weeks. They are sweet!
