lantana
Tropical cluster blooms
Lantana is a flowering shrub native to tropical regions, grown as an ornamental for its clusters of small, brightly colored blooms that often display multiple hues—yellow, orange, red, pink—on the same flower head.
The plant thrives in hot climates and attracts butterflies, though it can become invasive in some areas: The lantana has taken over the whole garden bed.
