Kumara Lantana is a beautiful hedgerow plant which is common in
Australasia. I live in the UK and have been searching for a source of
seeds
for this plant in order to establish it in my garden. It's phenomenally
attractive to butterflies and has the appearance of a sort of umbellifer
but
with honeysuckle-like flowers on the heads. I would be grateful for clue
as
to how to obtain seed for this. Seedsmen in Australia say it's outside of
the "gardening" remit because of it's hedgerow origins. In other words
they
don't carry seed for it. It's a cracking plant though and I want some.

Can anyone advise, please?
Thank you

If this is the same as Lantana camara, then you can find some references
via Google.

T&M appear to be among the companies that carry it.

There are some 150 species of Lantana.

The reason why seed of Lantana camara is not available in Australia would
appear to be its reputation as the worst alien invader on the continent,
and
the Aussie desperation in trying to get rid of it. It may be illegal to
sell
such seeds?

I don't think it's illegal because I have seen it once growing in an
ornamental in the UK. It isn't Kumara Camara that I want though, it is most
definitely "Kumara Lantana". I imagine it's the same family as the wild
potato-like plant that's known in Polynesia. I can't find any references to
this specific plant on Google. Only to Camara. Specimen at

Thank you.
