Lantana Chapel Hill Yellow PP 19548 Malvaviscus Paeonia obovataThis Mike Dirr introduction popped up as a spontaneous seedling in the Dirr's temporary residence in Chapel Hill, NC obviously a cross of Lantana 'New Gold' (Lantana camara x Lantana montevidensis) and Lantana camara 'Miss Huff'. Lantana 'Chapel Hill Yellow' has been an amazing plant in our trials, sailing through our 7 degree F winter in 2009. Be sure to allow enough room, as our 1. 5 year old clump is now 2' (0. 33 Dirrs) tall x 14' (2. 3 Dirrs)
