#569 - Lantana 'Zinn Orange' (Zinn Orange Perennial Lantana)

Lantanas that are reliably winter hardy are some of the best perennials for gardens in this area. Their bright-colored flower clusters, long season of bloom and attractiveness to butterflies make them highly desirable. The selection Zinn Orange was named by Oklahoma plantsman Bill Farris for the Zinn family whose garden it had been growing in for a few decades in northern Oklahoma City. They had originally purchased the plant as an unnamed orange Lantana nearby from the once fabulous but now gone Satterlee's Nursery that used to reside on May Avenue. We are always excited to grow durable worthy plants that have proven themselves here for this many years, especially if they have a bit of local history like this one.
