I'm Retired!

Thank you so much to the clients of San Francisco for entrusting me with your projects for the past 25 plus years. It has truly been an honor to create for you and I can’t say enough how much I appreciated it. To new home owners who are thinking about creating an oasis for your property in this great city, I would be honored for you to browse my portfolio for ideas that you can use on your upcoming project. 

Peace and Love, Paul Tamate

Trailing Lantana

San Francisco Plant Directory for Landscaping

Lantana Montevidensis

This shrub is a colorful ground covering and lives happily in San Francisco landscaping climates. They have a long season and light frosts merely keep their growth in check. You’ll also find birds and butterflies around them. This wonderful and versatile plant can compliment any San Francisco homeowner’s landscaping project, as well as provide a beautiful Asian look for those who love an exotic touch of design. Trailing varieties also offer some support in preventing erosion… how helpful!

Where They Do Well

They prefer full sun and moderate temperatures, however, they are adaptable to most climate changes. If the freeze is deep enough, it may kill the plant, but our lovely San Francisco weather would never get that bad. With its stunning cascading flowers that come in several different endless colors—from stark whites to brilliant oranges and fiery reds—Lantana is sure to add loads of vibrancy and life no matter where it’s placed.

Maintenance

Lantana montevidensis is an ideal plant for those who want a low-maintenance gardening experience. Its moderate water and moisture requirements make it easy to maintain; established plants only need occasional watering, while container plants may require more frequent attention. To ensure that this hearty species thrives in its environment, be sure never to let the soil completely dry out! Remove any dead flowers and wood, but otherwise, the trailing part is what makes this a great plant.
