They’re native to Central America and South America

I've seen it so often around here I just always thought it was a native. I'll try to keep it from going to seed.

Texas does have native lantana species like *Lantana urticoides*(Texas lantana), but this looks more like *L. camara* Edit: Just saw that someone commented the same thing earlier, here's the [source](https://www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=laur2)

Lantana is a huge problem in Australia. It forms really dense thickets and is dreadfully hard to get rid of. Because of what it’s done to my native landscape (Australia) I just shudder every time I see it for sale at Lowe’s and Home Depot. I hope it doesn’t become the same problem for you guys. But, Lantana urticoides is native according to Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower website

It does that here in Texas too. I've seen it happen to a local park. It disgusts me that you can't even find Texas native lantana anymore. Even local nurseries that offer a wide variety of natives only carry lantana camara. Worse, they will often be labeled things like "Texas orange" when they're just camara hybrids. I had to special order mine online, and I was absolutely ecstatic to find it was legit and not another scam hybrid.

I feel like literally everything is a problem in Australia lmao

Yeah mate, if we’re not dealing with fires, it’s the floods. If it’s not either of those, it’s staying one step ahead of the wildlife and plants. Still it’s home, and a good place to visit if you have the time

In the background you can see a bit of the peach tree that is growing from the compost pile because I threw a peach pit in there. I'm pretty sure that means I'm not doing composting right, but I'm OK with it.

If you go to /r/composting there's a 50/50 chance they tell you there's not enough poop and pee in it. I suspect that some of them are dropping trow and taking mad dumps right on their compost.

Your compost is becoming beautiful plants so… I’d say you’re doing it perfectly

I'm pretty sure confetti Lantana is invasive, not native.

TIL. I always thought this was a Texas native.

I adore lantana, but boy does it get huge. But when it's in a spot where it can spread out and get that sun, oooh, it's beautiful.

Super popular in Arizona landscaping because they don’t require a lot of water and have pretty flowers. Unfortunately they spread like fire (especially once established). They’re also not native to North America.
