I am a gardener in Florida who maintains a wildlife habitat to sustain butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, birds, and insects. Host plants are grown to sustain butterfly caterpillars for this area. Flowers are grown to provide nectar for pollinators.

Lantana camara

A bittersweet reality here in Florida. Highly invasive species that will steal your entire garden, BUT loved by pollinators.

I chop it down year after year after the first bloom.

    I also have Latena in my garden, and the pollinators love this bush.
