Shrub verbenas (Lantana)
Shrub verbenas (Lantana) are popular garden plants, and growers have cultivated them into many shapes and colors. They produce up to 12,000 seeds a year on each shrubby plant. They have also become dangerously invasive plants after being introduced into the Australian ecosystem. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees love the nectar and pollen from shrub verbenas.

Basic care needs include full sun exposure, well-draining soil, consistent moisture without waterlogging, and temperatures above freezing point. Shrub verbenass are resilient but can succumb to common pests like whiteflies and aphids, diseases including powdery mildew, or overly cold conditions. Seasonally, they flourish in summer heat with balanced watering and require minimal watering and no fertilization in winter as the plants enter a dormant phase. Overall, shrub verbenass are vibrant, robust flowering shrubs with a tolerance for many challenging conditions.

8 most common species：
Common lantana
The common lantana is a flowering plant that grows best in tropical environments. It spread outside the Americas when the Dutch brought it to Europe. The plant is generally regarded as an unwanted weed that reduces biodiversity. Additionally, it is toxic to livestock and harms the output of farmland.
Trailing lantana
Popular in many gardens and landscapes, the trailing lantana is very beautiful with its rosy lilac blooms. It is very attractive to bees and butterflies and has a strong scent. It can irritate the skin and is toxic to humans and pets when ingested so handle this plant with care.
Texas lantana
Texas lantana (Lantana horrida) is a perennial shrub that grows from 61 to 122 cm tall and spreading 61 to 152 cm wide. Colorful red orange and yellow flowers bloom spring to fall attracting butterflies and birds. Highly deer-resistant this shrub is commonly found in wooded areas. Drought tolerant and thrives in full sun.
Texas lantana
Texas lantana is a deciduous shrub forming a bushy clump of rough and serrated foliage, and tiny vibrant flowers arranged in thick clusters. The nectar from the blooms entices butterflies, bees, and other pollinating insects. The dark purple berries also attract birds. However, the leaves are toxic to animals and humans, and emit a strong fragrance when bruised.
Velvet shrubverbena
Velvet shrubverbena is a North American wildflower with long-blooming white blossoms that change to mauve over time. The best time to see the plant is when these flowers bloom from early spring through to early summer. This plant is particularly susceptible to diseases and pests, explaining why it isn't a popular ornamental species.
Lantana 'Radiation'
Lantana 'Radiation' produces orangish-red flowers accented with yellow, and the intense color of these bright blooms have clearly inspired this cultivar's common name. It’s commonly used in sunny gardens where its resistance to heat allows it to thrive when other plants stop blooming. This tolerance to heat is another feature that separates lantana 'Radiation' from its parent plant.
Lantana 'Miss Huff'
Lantana 'Miss Huff' is cultivated from the Lantanas genus and is easily distinguishable by its uniquely colored clusters of orange flowers. Its resistance to cold weather make it a popular choice for gardens and containers. The leaves can irritate the skin upon contact.
Denholm white lantana
Denholm white lantana(Lantana camara 'Denholm White') is famed for its multi-colored flowers but this hybrid stands out for the lovely pure white flowers after which it is named. These flowers are extremely popular with butterflies. Denholm white lantana makes a good indoor container plant in cooler climates.

Lantana 'Dallas Red'
Lantana 'Dallas Red'
Lantana 'Dallas Red' gets its name from its profusion of bright-colored flower clusters. The blooms are bright orange upon opening, gradually turning a brilliant red. Its abundance of blooms set it apart from this cultivar’s parent plant. It is also what makes lantana 'Dallas Red' a popular choice in bee and butterfly gardens.
Lantana strigocamara
Lantana strigocamara
Lantana strigocamara is a vibrant, evergreen shrub known for its clusters of small, tubular flowers that display a colorful array from yellow to red as they mature. The flowers attract butterflies and are complemented by the plant's rough-textured, deep green leaves with serrated edges. Thriving in sunny, warm environments, lantana strigocamara spreads readily, often forming dense thickets that can outcompete native vegetation.
Lantana rugosa
Lantana rugosa
Lantana rugosa is a hardy, shrubby perennial with clusters of small, aromatic flowers that exhibit a variety of colors, often turning from yellow to pink or purple as they age. Its leaves are rough, oval-shaped, and exhibit a toothed margin, which may deter herbivores. Thriving in warm climates, lantana rugosa has a robust disposition, resilient to pests, and its vibrant blooms attract a diverse array of pollinators.

Dracaena
Dracaena are popular house plants that are easy to grow. They can tolerate low-light conditions and require little watering. Their leaves range from variegated to dark green. Their characteristic traits include woody stems that grow slowly but offer a striking appearance for small spaces such as apartments or offices.
Fig trees
Fig trees have been cultivated in many regions for their fruits, particularly the common fig, F. carica. Most of the species have edible fruits, although the common fig is the only one of commercial value. Fig trees are also important food sources for wildlife in the tropics, including monkeys, bats, and insects.
Brambles
Brambles are members of the rose family, and there are hundreds of different types to be found throughout the European countryside. They have been culturally significant for centuries; Christian folklore stories hold that when the devil was thrown from heaven, he landed on a bramble bush. Their vigorous growth habit can tangle into native plants and take over.
Maples
The popular tree family known as maples change the color of their leaves in the fall. Many cultural traditions encourage people to watch the colors change, such as momijigari in Japan. Maples popular options for bonsai art. Alternately, their sap is used to create maple syrup.
Prunus
Prunus is a genus of flowering fruit trees that includes almonds, cherries, plums, peaches, nectarines, and apricots. These are often known as "stone fruits" because their pits are large seeds or "stones." When prunus trees are damaged, they exhibit "gummosis," a condition in which the tree's gum (similar to sap) is secreted to the bark to help heal external wounds.
Nightshades
Nightshades is a large and diverse genus of plants, with more than 1500 different types worldwide. This genus incorporates both important staple food crops like tomato, potato, and eggplant, but also dangerous poisonous plants from the nightshade family. The name was coined by Pliny the Elder almost two thousand years ago.
Roses
Most species of roses are shrubs or climbing plants that have showy flowers and sharp thorns. They are commonly cultivated for cut flowers or as ornamental plants in gardens due to their attractive appearance, pleasant fragrance, and cultural significance in many countries. The rose hips (fruits) can also be used in jams and teas.
Oaks
Oaks are among the world's longest-lived trees, sometimes growing for over 1,000 years! The oldest known oak tree is in the southern United States and is over 1,500 years old. Oaks produce an exceedingly popular type of wood which is used to make different products, from furniture and flooring to wine barrels and even cosmetic creams.
