Sage tree "Ljubava"
Sage tree "Ljubava" - Lantana camara.
An evergreen shrub 80-150 cm high with tetrahedral pubescent stems and hard grey-green leaves.
The flowers are small, which change colour from orange to pink or reddish when flowering. It has a pleasant smell. It blooms from spring to late autumn.
Sowing is done in spring in boxes with loose substrate, which are placed in a light room with a temperature of at least +20 °C. Seedlings appear in 3-4 weeks.
To get compact plants, they are pinched repeatedly. In spring, the shoots are cut by 1/3, stimulating the formation of new shoots and flowering. In winter, they are placed on the southern side of the room, maintaining a temperature of at least +14 °C. In summer, water often, in winter - less often.
Warning: lantana fruits are poisonous!
