From its name, it is known that its flower should look like a red tassel hat. It opens like a small red pommel. Its spherical flower head is very gorgeous, with a slight needling feeling. When the petals degenerate, the filaments are exposed, long and significant. After the flower withers, a long and flat pod will grow beside it, which is very lovely.
Pink puff is different from red tassel. Its plant type is relatively small, mostly small shrubs, leaves like pieces of feathers, but the number of leaves is very small, as long as four to six, not as complex as Lantana. Its filament base is white, very many and slender, a small number of flowers contained in a inflorescence, so the flower ball does not look as thick and thick as the Lantana.
Lantana rosea grows in the tropics. It likes warm, humid and sunny climate. It is not hardy in warm environment for a long time. It grows well in acid soil with good drainage and sufficient nutrition.
Puffin flowers are distributed in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions, with different distribution zones. Their habits are more complex than those of Lantana flowers only distributed in the tropics. However, they also prefer places with sufficient light, warm and humid. The soil is better in loose and fertile sandy soil, unlike Lantana flowers, which can grow in acid soil.
Powder puff flower has high ornamental value because of its beautiful appearance, while the Lantana rosea not only has beautiful appearance and high ornamental value, but also has edible property. It has no toxicity or side effects, and its root bark is rich in tannin, etc. eating tannin can help digestion, and can cure anorexia, constipation and other symptoms. Not only that, the wood of the flower branch of the red tassel is hard, often used by people to make farming tools, which is a kind of raw material with strong grinding resistance and corrosion resistance.
