How cool that a butterfly showed up during the filming! 🦋 😊

Thank you for this information... we live close to the coast and have LOTS of Lantana and I love them. We learned a lot from this video... thank you. My husband is out there cutting some of them back now.

My experience growing lantana here in Southern California is much the same as yours, with the exception that here in zone 10a, all of them are reliably perennial. I generally cut them to the ground each spring just to keep them tidy and more compact. As you noted in the video, they seem to be slow to take off and don’t really gain much size until mid summer. Since garden space is at a premium for me, I grow only the newer, more compact cultivars (a few are supposedly sterile). I’ve had a couple of beautiful - but enormous - plants in past years that threatened to crowd out everything else in my yard. Rather than get rid of them, I took cuttings and now grow those in containers where I can more easily control their size. The only issue we have here with lantana is a fungus that appears on the leaves if we get them wet when watering during the heat of summer. Otherwise, this plant seems to be pretty much pest-free. I’ve planted my lantana among my day lilies, and with dwarf blue plumbago (ceratostigma), Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus), and blue scabiosa.

They're everywhere here in Central Florida. I just grow mine in containers, so they don't spread. And then nip the flower buds. Once they're done blooming before the seed. Pods and the fruits are produced, but the hummingbirds butterflies moths love them

I'm in Texas zone 9A and with our crazy heat and drought this year, only my lantanas are thriving!

[ghsbnid]

Dr. Plant I really appreciate your information so quickly. Sorry I forgot to tell you; l’m in zone 6 in Phx, Az.❤😊

At the end of 2022 we moved from Dallas, two hours East, toward Tyler, Texas. Zone 8b. We live in a deer protected community. This has been a learning curve, as to what can be planted for pollinators, but not for deer. In Dallas I had a beautiful shade garden filled with fern and hosta. Out here, hostas are 'deer candy'.

The front 30 feet of the yard can be considered a Hell-Strip.

Past that, deeper into the yard, the tree canopy creates full shade.


After much Love & Loss——The Hell-Strip is thriving with a mix of Yellow Lantana, Verbena Bonariensis, a few accents of English Lavander, and Russian Sage.

The shade areas are thriving with any Fern, Vinca as a ground cover, Elephant Ears, Ligularia (Tractor Seat Plant), Liriope, and Chocolate Chip Ajuga...Society Garlic is mixed in both areas.

As per your video, I will be adding more Chapel Hill, Miss Huff, and Sonset.

I just found lantana because I’ve been experimenting with more and more flowers. They are allowed here in Arizona and HoA says plant away so I did. I now have purple, yellow and red varieties in my front yard. I keep them out of the backyard because I have a dog.

[Marshall]

You say that they don’t have much of a scent but I’ve noticed dogs will steer clear of beds with yellow lantana (which I think smells lemony). I had a neighbor plant it years ago as a dog fence for her flower beds 😂

[thelioness]

I am in TN and mine is huge. Beautiful. Butterflys love it. Bees love the salvia. I put them together not knowing what would happen, just loved the colors. funny you should mention. I also have Zinnias.

As an Australian, I always have to listen to your videos with asterisks about things like the different seasons and the different products available, and sometimes plants that work well where you are don't work so well here - or in this case they're noxious weeds here! All good information and love your videos regardless.

[Alexandria-unkx]

Here in our place they grow as wild flowers there are lots of them

[nicolevavallo]

I'm in Chicago. I usually get an annual trailing Lantana in a hanging basket each summer and it does well. Thanks for the tips.

[nicolewilliams]

I’m in Texas zone 9A, I had to pull out my yellow lantana because they were covering so many plants in my small garden bed.

[pamhussey]

Hi!! Just found you today and loved your video!! I have several Lantanas in pots and one of them is getting brown, crispy looking leaves and no flowers…All of the others are

[denisoneleazar]

Here in the Philippines we have a lot of different types of lantana, most of lantana is wild sometime we cut it already.

[tarawalker]

This was extremely helpful! Thank you!

[nombreapellido]

I bought a Miss Huff (lantana camera) and put it in a big pot. Fingers crossed that I don’t kill it (not very good with plants but I keep trying).

[ghsbnid]

Thank you I had lantanas last yr. All 9 die.😢😢This yr. I brought more I live in Az. our summers are very hot. How often should I water than?

[anniemorrison]

Loved my lantana in Houston, but since moving to East Tennessee I have not tried growing it. We get some snow and cold temperatures, so I don't know if it will do well here.
