More About Lantana ‘Bandana® White’

Lantana ‘Bandana® White’ delivers crisp, clean white flower clusters that provide a fresh, bright look all season long. The blooms hold their color well even in extreme summer heat, offering contrast and balance in vibrant sun-loving plantings.

As part of the Bandana® series, this variety was bred for compact size, uniform branching, and nonstop flowering. It provides the toughness lantana is known for without excessive growth or legginess.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Bandana® White’ has been exceptionally dependable in full sun and high heat. It flowers continuously through dry conditions, maintains a tidy mounded form, and requires minimal maintenance once established.

We especially appreciate its versatility. The white blooms pair beautifully with bold colors, pastels, and ornamental grasses, making it an excellent companion plant in mixed containers and landscape beds. Butterflies and bees are frequent visitors throughout the season.

Bandana® White vs. Other Lantana Varieties

Bandana® White stands out in the Bandana® Lineup for its crisp, neutral blooms that pair effortlessly with any color palette while maintaining the same dense branching and nonstop flowering the Bandana® line is known for. Compared to brighter Bandana® options like Yellow or Gold, White provides visual relief and works especially well in modern or monochromatic designs. It also offers a cleaner, more refined look than many white lantanas outside the series, which can appear looser or uneven. 

When planted alongside bolder varieties like Bandana® Red or Cherry Sunrise, White acts as a balancing element without sacrificing performance. Against the Lucky® Series, Bandana® White provides a more substantial plant with greater garden presence. If you want a Lantana that brightens without overpowering nearby colors, Bandana® White is your Lantana.
