This lantana is so cool! Love it! The flowers are pretty - lavender, typical lantana structure. But what makes this plant so neat are the seed heads. Bees are particularly drawn to blue/lavender colored flowers. They will go to other plants of course, but the science has shown they display a preference for blue. You can see a bumble bee on the flower in the picture below.
Look at these interesting-looking seed heads! And they form pretty purple seeds.You can see from the bamboo stake in this picture that i meant to tie it up. Never got around to tying it. This lantana variety wants to grow tall rather than grow from side to side.
