Lantana 'New Gold' (Lantana camara 'New Gold'): Sterile Gold Blooms for Heat

Lantana camara 'New Gold' (aka 'Ham and Eggs') is a popular, sterile cultivar of Lantana that produces abundant, bright golden-yellow flower clusters without setting seed—eliminating invasive potential. It's a reliable, non-stop bloomer for hot, sunny sites.

Botanical Profile

Growing Lantana 'New Gold'

This tender perennial (annual in cool zones) forms a mounding, spreading plant 1–2 feet tall, 3–4 feet wide. The rough, aromatic leaves are gray-green. The 1.5-inch flower heads are solid gold, blooming continuously from spring to frost. Sterile—no berries, no volunteers. Attracts butterflies and bees.

It thrives in full sun, heat, drought, and poor soil. Hardy in zones 9–11; elsewhere a superb annual. The sterility makes it safe for regions where L. camara is invasive. A low-maintenance, high-color gold standard for beds, borders, and containers.
