Hi.
I planted a Lantana camara in my garden. I know it can be invasive but AFAIK it's native or close where I live (Mexico). That said, I found out it is allelopathic and I suspect I might be inhibiting a Ficus triangularis that I planted next to it because it has been stuck at its original pot size.
I like the Lantana because hummingbirds constantly drink from its flowers, and I'd like to keep it if there are plants unaffected by it. Do you know some? If it turns not to play well with others, I'll take it down in autumn when sun does not reach it and weakens anyway.
