- Naturally forms a dense, symmetrical 30-inch mound—stays tidy with little to no pruning.

Teenie Genie Compact Lantana (Lantana camara ‘Monike’) is the perfect “small but mighty” sun-lover—an extremely dense, compact lantana that smothers itself in continuous, color-shifting blooms. Flower clusters emerge a bright chiffon yellow and gradually transition to vibrant fuchsia pink, creating a lively, multicolored display from spring through summer (and even longer in frost-free climates). With a naturally symmetrical, mounding habit that reaches about 30 inches tall and wide without pruning, it’s an ideal choice for crisp borders, mass plantings, and patio containers where you want high color with low effort. Plant in full sun, provide well-drained soil, and water deeply when the soil dries for a long-season, heat-proof show.
Plant Description
An extremely dense and compact lantana with a continuous display of multicolored blooms. Its naturally symmetrical form holds a neat shape with minimal maintenance and strong warm-season performance.
Flower Color & Bloom Season
Flower clusters open chiffon yellow and transition to fuchsia pink for a two-tone, multicolor effect. Blooms from spring through summer and continues longer in frost-free regions.
Habit & Mature Size
Naturally forms a compact, mounding shrub about 30 inches tall and 30 inches wide with no pruning required for shape.
Sun & Exposure
Full sun is essential for the heaviest bloom and tightest habit. Place in the brightest location for best color and continuous flowering.
Watering
Water deeply when soil is dry. During the first growing season, water regularly to establish roots; once established in the landscape, reduce frequency.
Soil & Drainage
Thrives in average, well-drained soil. Avoid persistently soggy conditions to keep roots healthy and flowering strong.
Hardiness & Overwintering
Evergreen in frost-free regions. In cooler climates, enjoy as a warm-season color plant in containers and protect from frost if you want to overwinter it.
Pollinators & Wildlife
Attracts hummingbirds and pollinators, adding movement and garden activity throughout the bloom season. Also valued for supporting birds in the landscape.
Maintenance & Pruning
Remove spent blooms periodically to keep plants looking fresh. Light annual pruning can be done to maintain a tidy outline, though the natural form stays compact on its own.
Fertilizing
Fertilize in spring to support steady growth and sustained flowering through the warm season, especially in containers.
Container Tips
Excellent for pots and patio planters where the dense mound acts as a colorful focal point. Container plants need more regular watering than in-ground plantings—water thoroughly when the mix dries.
Landscape Uses
Ideal for borders, mass plantings, and sunny beds. Also performs well on slopes and hillsides for bold color in hot, exposed areas.
Site Challenges & Strengths
A strong performer in heat and sun with waterwise habits once established. Suitable for coastal exposure and helpful for erosion control in the right planting sites.
