What Is Lantana?
Why Lantana Is a Problem in Australia
Lantana (Lantana camara) is one of Australia's most damaging invasive weeds, affecting more than 4 million hectares across eastern Australia. The plant forms dense thickets that suppress native vegetation, increase bushfire intensity, restrict access to land, and reduce biodiversity.
Lantana can also be toxic to livestock and creates ongoing management challenges for landowners, councils and environmental organisations.
