Phoenix's Most Vibrant Orange-Red Blooming Groundcover for Full Sun

Radiation Lantana (Lantana camara 'Radiation') is one of the most colorful and reliable blooming groundcovers for the Phoenix Valley. Its bold orange-red blooms with bright yellow centers create a continuous fireworks display from spring through fall — and in Phoenix's mild winters, it often keeps blooming nearly year-round. It grows fast, spreads 2–4 feet wide, and handles full desert sun with minimal water once established. Whether you're covering a sunny slope in Chandler, adding color to a xeriscape in Scottsdale, or lining a wall in Mesa — Radiation Lantana delivers nonstop tropical color without the tropical water bill.

Radiation Lantana Uses in Phoenix Landscapes

High-Impact Color for Sun-Baked Beds

Radiation Lantana thrives in the brutal Phoenix sun that kills less heat-tolerant plants. Its multi-toned orange-red and yellow blooms intensify with heat, making it most vibrant during Phoenix's hottest months when other plants struggle. Plant in full sun beds, along south-facing walls, or anywhere you need bold color without constant watering. One plant at maturity covers 2–4 square feet of bare soil beautifully.

Slope Stabilization and Mass Plantings

The spreading habit and fast growth rate make Radiation Lantana ideal for covering slopes, berms, and large open areas where weed suppression and erosion control are important. Mass plantings create a stunning carpet of orange-red color visible from the street. For slope coverage: plant 3 feet apart for full coverage in 1–2 seasons. For mass color beds in Gilbert or Tempe, plant 2.5 feet apart for quicker fill-in.

Butterfly and Pollinator Gardens

Radiation Lantana is a top butterfly plant for Phoenix landscapes. The dense flower clusters provide nectar for monarchs, swallowtails, Gulf fritillaries, and dozens of other species throughout the blooming season. Pair with Desert Marigold, Salvia, and Autumn Sage to create a pollinator corridor that supports wildlife from spring through fall in Peoria, Glendale, and beyond.

Low-Water Border and Edging Plant

At 2–4 feet tall, Radiation Lantana works perfectly as a low border shrub along driveways, pathways, or property lines. Its mounding habit fills in cleanly without staking or heavy pruning. Plant 3 feet apart along a fence or driveway edge for a continuous color hedge that stays colorful with almost no maintenance in Phoenix's desert climate.

Best Time to Plant Radiation Lantana in Phoenix

Fall (October–November) is ideal — warm soil supports root development while cooler air reduces transplant stress, giving the plant 6–8 months to establish before its first Phoenix summer. Spring (February–April) is a strong second option as temperatures are still manageable. Avoid summer planting if possible — although Lantana is tough, transplant stress in summer heat increases water demand and slows establishment.

How to Plant Radiation Lantana

  1. Dig wide, not deep — dig a hole 2–3x the width of the root ball and the same depth.
  2. Check for caliche — break through any hardpan layer to ensure water can drain below the roots.
  3. Backfill with native soil — a light 20% organic blend is fine; avoid heavy compost that retains excess moisture.
  4. Spacing — 2.5–3 feet apart for mass plantings; 3 feet for borders; 4 feet for standalone accent plants.
  5. Water basin — mound a 3–4 inch soil ring around the plant to direct water to the root zone.
  6. Mulch — apply 2–3 inches of bark or gravel mulch to reduce evaporation and moderate soil temperature.

Watering Radiation Lantana in Phoenix

First Year Watering Schedule

  • Weeks 1–2: Every 1–2 days, deep and slow (20–30 minutes)
  • Months 1–2: Every 3–4 days
  • Months 3–6: Every 7–10 days (every 5–7 days during peak summer)
  • After Year 1: Every 10–14 days in summer; every 3–4 weeks in winter

Drip Irrigation

Use a 1–2 GPH emitter placed 18–24 inches from the plant center. Water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root development. Once established, Radiation Lantana is one of the most drought-tolerant flowering plants for Phoenix landscapes — cutting back to once every 2 weeks in summer is typically sufficient.

How fast does Radiation Lantana grow in Phoenix?
Expect 1–2 feet of growth per year under Phoenix conditions. It grows fastest in spring and fall and may slow during peak summer heat, but will resume vigorous growth when temperatures moderate.

Is Radiation Lantana drought-tolerant once established?
Yes — one of the best. After its first growing season, Radiation Lantana is highly drought-tolerant and will thrive with deep, infrequent watering every 10–14 days in summer. It's among the most water-efficient flowering shrubs available for Phoenix landscapes.

What's the difference between Radiation and other Lantana varieties?
Radiation Lantana features distinctive orange-red and yellow multi-toned blooms — one of the most vivid color combinations in the Lantana family. It's more compact than some Lantana species and keeps a tighter mounding habit, making it easier to use as a border or edging plant compared to trailing or sprawling varieties.

Does it attract butterflies?
Yes — Radiation Lantana is one of the top butterfly-attracting plants for the Phoenix Valley. The dense flower clusters are rich in nectar and draw monarchs, swallowtails, painted ladies, and many other species throughout the blooming season.

Will it survive Phoenix summers?
Absolutely. Radiation Lantana was made for desert heat. Full sun, reflected heat, and Phoenix's 110°F summers don't faze it. It actually blooms more intensely under heat stress, making it one of the most reliable summer-color plants for Scottsdale and Phoenix landscapes.

Dallas Red Lantana — deep red blooms on a similarly spreading habit, great for bold color contrast in xeriscape and full-sun beds.

New Gold Lantana — bright solid yellow blooms on a spreading groundcover form, pairs beautifully with Radiation for a vibrant orange-and-gold color combo.

Purple Trailing Lantana — cool purple blooms that complement Radiation's warm tones perfectly in mixed groundcover plantings.

White Trailing Lantana — bright white blooms on a low-spreading form that creates a crisp contrast with Radiation's warm orange-red color.

How Many Radiation Lantana Do I Need?

Radiation Lantana mounds 2 to 4 feet tall and wide. For a solid mass of color or slope coverage, plant on 3-foot centers; tighten to 2.5 feet for a faster fill. At 3-foot spacing one plant covers roughly 8 square feet once filled in.

Area to Cover Plants Needed (3 ft spacing)
50 sq ft about 6 plants
100 sq ft about 12 plants
200 sq ft about 24 plants

As a color hedge along a driveway or path, space plants 3 feet apart in a single row: about 4 plants per 10 linear feet.

Radiation Lantana Season-by-Season in Phoenix

  • Spring (Feb to Apr): A late-winter cutback triggers a flush of new growth and the first orange-red blooms. Strong spring planting window.
  • Summer (May to Sep): Peak season, and it actually blooms harder under heat stress. Shrugs off 110-degree days and reflected heat off walls and pavement, and the monsoon (Jul to Sep) fuels even more bloom. Among the toughest summer-color plants for the Valley.
  • Fall (Oct to Nov): Prime planting season and heavy continued color as nights cool.
  • Winter (Dec to Jan): Often keeps a little color in mild Valley winters, but Lantana camara is frost-tender: tops can freeze back below about 28°F. It re-sprouts from the crown in spring. Cut frost-damaged stems back hard in late February.

Is Radiation Lantana Right for Your Yard?

This is a top pick for hot, sunny, low-water beds, slopes, and color hedges in full sun and reflected heat on well-draining soil. It is not a fit for shade or for cold low spots that trap frost, and lantana foliage and unripe berries are toxic if eaten, so keep it away from areas where pets or small children graze.

Sounds great and the 360 spatial sound mapping is amazing.
I was very happy with my previous AVR, but when it failed I took the opportunity to get up to date and after some research I settled on this. I am so happy I did. The positive reviews were not lying. This AVR sounds down right amazing considering the price point. Love the Chromecast feature as well as the Spotify integration. However, it's the movie audio that really shines. After the very short calibration, their 360 spatial sound mapping when switched on really makes such a huge difference. Most of us will not be able to make a dedicated theater room, so this do the corrections for speaker placement is next level. Not to mention their virtual speaker placement technology. I don't know how it's done, but when I 1st used it, this thing had me amazed at sound placement from areas where the sound should be coming from, but I know I had no speaker there. Even the short calibration was impressive. At the end of the process it knows not only where you are in relation to listening position, but it also knows exactly where each and every speaker is relative to each other in the room including their height. Remarkable. OCD me verified the measurements which you can displayed, with a laser measuring tool. Now my biggest issue is that I now feel the need to go through all my movie collection to hear the difference.

Product does not function as befits a brand name like Sony
Review updated after TWO returns to the repair center and MANY calls to both Support and the CS Escalation department: I'M STILL NOT PLEASED WITH THIS PRODUCT. During startup, this receiver bounces back and forth from input source to input source as if I triggered a roulette wheel. Where will it finally stop? In my case, I most often use Video input. Sometimes during startup, it will momentarily display the Video input as expected, but will then start jumping/fishing around to other inputs types, including those I've never used. Eventually, it may return to the Video input, but it will not display the actual video or audio content. Instead, it just displays a black banner that reads VIDEO. I then have to turn the receiver off and on again hoping that maybe it will work this time. Neither Sony's escalation Team, nor the repair facility will answer the simple question, "What SHOULD it do when I first turn it on?" In addition, on at least two occasions, during startup, I saw PLEASEWAIT written across the display for 75 seconds before the device actually started up OR rebooted. (Note: THIS issue appears to be resolved by the repair center replacing a circuit board.) Another related annoyance is that when video content changes (e.g., from a show to a commercial, back to a commercial on YouTube), each break in the chain displays 5+ seconds of black screen even though you can hear the audio. This doesn't sound like much, but when it does this every time, it gets annoying AND is infinitely longer than my previous 10 y/o receiver.) About 2-3 times an hour, while viewing consistent content from the same input, the screen will suddenly go black, then the audio drops out, and then it will flash a HDCP 2.3 warning blue screen. Unacceptable! In short, and IMHO, the audio quality is very good, but basic functionality is SEVERELY clunky. Again, IMHO, this product should have NEVER gone to market. The combination of poor functionality AND a dismal customer experience forever diminishes Sony's former world-class brand status. P.S.: Sony's Escalation department told me that they simply DO NOT provide refunds if you've had the product more than 30 days. So make sure that you test ALL functionality as soon as it arrives. Caveat emptor.

real time and energy saver, as well as $
Size: 16AWG Wiring Harness-2 Leads
If you have a set of LED lights that didn't come with a harness , you can't beat this for the price. By the time you figure in the cost of the parts ( wire, switch, crimps/connectors, not to mention a relay if you are using one) to hardwire a set of lights, let alone the time to assemble, this set up is cheaper by far. harness length is ample, you get a pair of pigtails with connectors for a pair of lights, the relay, switch, fuse block and fuse, and ring terminals for power all assembled for what a switch and some wire would cost. Made everything quick, cheap, and easy.

Great wiring harness for light installations.
Size: 16AWG Wiring Harness-2 Leads, Size: 16AWG Wiring Harness-2 Leads
This is a great wiring harness for LED lights. These come in one or two leads application. All that means is that they come ready for one or two lights, depending on your installation. The plug in connectors for each light comes with the set so that is a plus. I’ve attached a picture of the plug/connector for the lights so you can take a look at them. Although the relay is an “overkill” for low wattage LEDs, it’s OK to have it just in case you decide to change your lights for larger ones or halogens, in the future. In my case I will be using this harness in my motorcycle. It is very long for my need, which is great for cars, but too long for motorcycles since you have to remember that room/space is scarce in motorcycles. I ended up cutting the wires to my desired length and using heat shrink butt connectors and “glued” heat shrink covers for waterproofing the connection points. All in all these are great quality and I am very happy with them.
