Tropic Pink Bird, also known as Red Sage and Lantana Camara, is a tender perennial native to Central and South America. This variety offers a compact, mounding habit of 12-24" tall and 12-18" wide, with pink and yellow flower clusters blooming from spring to frost. Root hardy in zone 9-10, Lantana grows well as an annual in cold regions, flourishing in full sun with minimal water. Vibrant flowers attract butterflies and hummingbirds to sunny landscape borders, mixed containers, hanging baskets, and xeriscapes. Lantana is heat-tolerant, long-blooming, and beautiful in the garden.

General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner

For best results with Tropic Pink Bird, plant one rooted plug per 4- or 6-inch container. Use a well-drained soil with a pH of 5.8-6.2, EC of 1.0-1.2, temperatures of 73-75 daytime and 65-68 nighttime, and light feed (100-150 ppm N). Pinch once at transplant and use paclobutrazol to control growth if needed. Watch for thrips, aphids, whiteflies, leafminers, botrytis, and root rot.

Flowering

Pink and yellow flower clusters bloom from spring to frost.

Pinching

Pinch once at transplant.

Spacing

Space containers for adequate airflow and sunlight penetration around the base and foliage of each plant.

Height Control

Control growth with a paclobutrazol drench at 1-2 ppm if needed.

Pests

You may see aphids, whiteflies, thrips, and leafminers.

Disease

This plant isn't prone to disease but botrytis and root rot can develop in cool, wet, humid weather or overly wet conditions. Take preventative measures in your greenhouse and use a fungicide drench at transplant if desired.

1. Water at the base of each plant in the morning, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

2. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse. We recommend using horizontal airflow fans.

3. Space containers so each plant has airflow and sunlight penetration to the soil level.

Planting Tropic Pink Bird Liners

We recommend planting one rooted liner per 4- or 6-inch container. Use a well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center of the container.

Rooted Cuttings

Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.
