More About Lantana ‘Bandana® Pink’

Lantana ‘Bandana® Pink’ delivers clear, vibrant pink flower clusters that provide strong, cheerful color throughout the growing season. The blooms hold their color well in intense summer heat, offering a fresh, consistent look from planting through frost.

As part of the Bandana® series, this variety was bred for controlled size, strong branching, and uniform performance. It offers nonstop flowering without becoming leggy or overpowering, making it easy to place in both containers and landscape beds.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Bandana® Pink’ has been exceptionally dependable in full sun and high heat. It blooms continuously through dry conditions, maintains a neat, mounded habit, and requires very little maintenance once established.

We especially appreciate its versatility in design. The bright pink color pairs beautifully with whites, purples, yellows, and silvers, and it consistently attracts butterflies and bees throughout the season.

Bandana® Pink vs. Other Lantana Varieties

Known for its bright, cheerful pink blooms, Bandana® Pink adds classic color with the same compact habit and durability that define the Bandana® Series. Compared to Bandana White, Pink is more vibrant, making it a better choice for high-contrast combinations. It also differs from Cherry Sunrise by offering a more consistent flower color rather than shifting tones.

Bandana® Pink provides more overall volume and landscape impact than Lucky® or Little Lucky™ Pinks, which are best suited for containers and edging. The Lucky® Series plants maintain excellent uniformity, but Bandana® Pink fills space more confidently over the season. Compared to Dallas Red, Pink offers a cooler, softer color option that still delivers strong contrast without the fiery intensity of red and orange tones.
