Here in Phx Az it's getting hot Lantana is one of the plants can endured thr heat. I just bought red and yellow ones planted in my front yard. It's a very pretty plants.
I flew into Phoenix two years ago on my way to the Grand Canyon. I remember seeing lantana THRIVING out there. It's on my bucket list to go back and do the rim to rim hike.
In some areas of the world this is true. Where I am the seeds do not have the right conditions to germinate in nature so we don't have the invasive issues.
You can simply pull out a stem and plant it into the ground with some leaf tissue in top. Water it well for 1 week or so, watch. Its indestructible and resilient.
Yes you can do that and add to the most invasive plant species in the world this plant is a weed of national importance in Australia because it was introduced to our country in the 1900 and has now taken over much of our country and it kills livestock and destroys ecosystem
So glad I came across your video! I have a Lantana that I want to replicate as I haven't been able to find the same colors. Thank you so much for your detailed and easy to follow instructions. ❤
I love my lantanas! They are heat, drought, and animal tolerant (animals like rabbits and javelina won't eat them). I live in the high desert, and these grow great, and flower all summer and spring. Let me know how you make out. I've tried with seeds, but haven't tried cuttings, and buying the plants are incredibly expensive. Good luck!
@@Dr.WarrenI have found volunteer plants in my yard, which are likely courtesy of birds. But I tried scoring the seeds, and trying to grow them, with zero success. 😢 I will try your method, as the plants have gotten do expensive. Thank you for your great video!
@@Dr.Warren I live in Arizona. I have only found two volunteers in my yard, over a 20 year period. I wish they'd invade my yard (but in the right places), but no. I am going to have to propagate for more plants (they've gotten very pricey, here). I think the only thing that grows well here, are cacti and weeds! Lol
This is great! But why peat moss instead of potting mix/soil? Also, I wanted to try to overwinter my cuttings/ baby plants since I’m in a zone 5/6. Do you have any videos about water, temp, and light requirements for that? Thank you!!
Most potting mix is going to have peat moss in it. The reason I used peat moss is because it is what I had on hand. I think you could use potting mix and be fine. Lantana tends to root easily. You could overwinter in a south facing window that gets a lot of direct sunlight. You could also have them in pots and on nights it is going to go below 25* stick them inside the house and put them back out when it warms up above freezing,
I had some spring up out of nowhere last summer along a fence line. I am going to move it to a flower bed this spring. I cannot wait! It is so beautiful. I recall it being all over our school growing up and it stunk but it was so pretty.
It is just the cutest plant ever! They are very strong and resilient! My mother lives in San Antonio, there is one growing between her front fence and the highway. It receives absolutely no care, and yet it just blooms along. They are not perennial in Western Washington, or I am doing something wrong. But they are pretty widely available and inexpensive.
My grandparents in west Texas had several huge lantana bushes in their backyard. I loved those bushes so much, but west Texas and piedmont North Carolina are 2 different environments.
I'm in south alabama and I looovve lantana! My front yard faces west and it just gets blasted by afternoon sun. I have a lantana bank I'm working on growing and adding to, coming off each side of a wooden walkway to my front porch. Butterflies love them of course but my favorite visitors are the two green lynx spider mamas out there now tending their egg sacks. They each claimed their "spires" so I've left them be and you can tell because everywhere else I've been pruning and deadheading 😂 I planted my purples too close to the original yellows and I'm debating moving them over when they die back this winter. They're not very robust but I can't decide if that's due to proximity or if purples are just puny. Anywho I want more! I love them so much!
Here in Southern California we have a problem with lantana getting black spots on the foliage if it gets wet when watering. Does that affect the plants in your area? Your plants appear to be very healthy despite being in (I assume) a somewhat more humid environment than here in the west.
@@robertc5387 my initial thoughts are the west coast climates are typically cooler and humid in the morning and then the air dries out. At least that is my limited experience to a few visits to LA and surrounding areas immediately on the coast. Perhaps it is the combination of the cool air with the humidity. We get sauna conditions here in the summer. 90*-95* with 90% humidity. Your sunglasses immediately fog over the second you walk out the door from the AC. You get what we call "swamp a$$" because the sweat just sticks to you and doesn't evaporate. But lantana love it here. It's one of the easiest plants to grow here.
@@Dr.Warren I agree with your assessment. I live in zone 4b in Minneapolis and that can happen to my plants in the spring and the fall. We actually get pretty humid when it is still cool on our overnights and I can have this problem, but they seem to grow out of this pretty quick when things heat up. A tough beautiful Tropical plant. Thanks for the nice concise video. Very helpful. I have tried cutting these back and keeping as houseplants but this spring I am going to experiment now with cuttings to try and overwinter. Thanks again. Kevin
That would make a lot of sense to me. In the tropics the wood would have time to harden off and do an air layer. Here the wood tends to stay more herbaceous/semi hardwood and not really harden off before the winter. So we use cuttings most of the time.
Greetings from Tucson, Arizona. I just discovered your channel and subscribed. I left my Virginia Beach garden, of 20 years, and am acclimating to Tucson's conditions, where Lantana are quite popular. I'm in the process of rooting some Desert Willow cuttings and preparing containers (1# Strawberry containers) for seeds.
I flew into Tucson two years ago on my way to the Grand Canyon. Such a beautiful area in a different way from back east. Lantana should do GREAT! TONS of heat and can take limited watering. Thanks for the sub. It's appreciated.
I am propagating Trailing Lantana however I put them in a mason jar in rain water. The roots are about two inches or so long. At what point can I put them in soil? At what point can I plant them in the garden this time in the fall? Or should I just leave them in a container until spring?
I would say you could go ahead and bump them up into a 4-6" pot. Let it fully root into that pot and you would have a plant that could be planted in the garden. I would wait until spring to plant if you are in the northern hemisphere.
I'm going to be a pain again 🙂 I have one that's potted I'm taking pieces from. How do I care for the potted one for the winter. It's still got some tall flowers
Lantana Camara is extremely invasive here in Phoenix, AZ. Birds planted it in my backyard and it took over my whole backyard, side yards, and started moving into my front yard! I finally had to hire landscapers to rip it all out. The berries are toxic to pets, but safe for birds, who eat the seeds and spread them over entire neighborhoods in their droppings. It is considered a noxious, invasive weed in several warm climate countries. I would not recommend this plant! 😢
My husband told me that the only people who are not allergic to it are Native Americans! I asked him, is that like a quick genetics test? He said, I don't know but that's what my Mom always told me. He's Osage. It doesn't bother me and I don't know what tribe I am.
I REALLY LIKE LANTANAS 🏵️🌸🌼 I PREFER THE BOLDER COLORS!!!😊 AND I EVEN TRIED TO GROW 🪴 FROM A CLIPPING BUT SINCE I DIDN'T GET THE PROPER INSTRUCTIONS FIRST...IT FAILED!!!🥺... THEY'RE NOT THAT EASY TO COME BY IN MY AREA BUT NEXT OPPORTUNITY I WILL NOW KNOW HOW TO PROPAGATE IT!!!😊👍🏾🙋🏾♀️ THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR TECHNIQUES!!!🪴🔥🙏🏾👑✝️📖🔥
I grew up by a railroad. The ditch had a hedge of Lantana 100 yards long. Everybutterflay in the state of Florida was there. Swarms.
Lovely to even know about ty aw
Lantanas are medicinal. Get em growing guys!
Got it!! Awesome!! Thank you teacher!🥇🍎🍏
Lantana lover in Fullerton, California. Gonna propagate thanks to you!
Thanks for watching and glad I could help.

Multi purpose- medicinal too. Known for use in Jamaica and Africa
It is a noxious weed in NSW Australia. Highly toxic to stock.
In some areas of the world this is true. Where I am the seeds do not have the right conditions to germinate in nature so we don't have the invasive issues.
Wrong. That’s what they want you to believe
Same here in West Australia. I've grown a few varieties of lantana and they have never spread. Too hot and dry.
Thanks for this! North Carolina, I just bought some Lantana plants today, one of my favsss! So excited 🙌🏼💐

The buttonwood is a favorite of our endangered state butterfly, the Atala. I recently saw buttonwood lantana in the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens!
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing.
I also use old clear fast food drink cups with lids in pearlite.
This is genius. Way to reuse a single use product!!

A lot of the seeds are sterile.

@@CactusGal A heads up, if you are finding volunteers the plant may be invasive in your region.

To me the smell has a citrus aroma.
@Dr.Warren I'll have to smell them again. It's been many years, maybe my smell buds have changed.

Washington is probably too far north for it to be a perennial
A few keys left out, for those tempting this. Sterilize instruments such as pruners, terrarium will be the plastic container. Good job
My grandparents in west Texas had several huge lantana bushes in their backyard. I loved those bushes so much, but west Texas and piedmont North Carolina are 2 different environments.
I've driven the entire length of I-20 and you are very correct. Two totally different environments. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I just pour a bit of rooting hormone on a piece of foil.

I have family in Dothan and lantana is awesome down there.
@@Dr.Warren Oh cool! I'm about 30 mins west of good ol Dothan.
@@colormetakenabackmy purple did not do well in 9a Louisiana
I wish it was a perrebial for my area. It's an annual here. I absolutely love it
It is cultivar dependent for me. Mrs Huff is a consistent perennial here in 8a.
Good afternoon! I don't recognize this plant but that's why I'm here ...to learn... Thank you 😊 ❤️🤗
It's a great little perennial for our area.
@@Dr.Warren I wonder if they grow in Kentucky... I'll check on it.

Here in the tropics we mainly propagate them from airlayering as opposed to cuttings

@Dr.Warren ok I didn't realize just how the different climates can affect propagation both negatively & positively

Which part of the plant boot memory that is what i want
Not sure I understand what you are asking?
Very good video will peet moss work on other cuttings trying to propagate vitek thank you
It can but it can easily get too wet or too dry.
Great
Is there a followup video for transplanting once theyre ready?
No but I need to add that to the list to make. Thanks for the idea.
I don’t much covered space outdoors. Could I place my pots in the garage?
They need some sun. The north facing wall of the house would be better.
❤
I really appreciate your thorough explanations! Thanks so much!
Thanks for the kind words
With the lid from the salad container, when do you take it off as the plant is going to hit the lid as it grows
It will not grow much at all, if any, until it has roots. Once it has roots remove it.
I am propagating Trailing Lantana however I put them in a mason jar in rain water. The roots are about two inches or so long. At what point can I put them in soil?
At what point can I plant them in the garden this time in the fall? Or should I just leave them in a container until spring?
I would say you could go ahead and bump them up into a 4-6" pot. Let it fully root into that pot and you would have a plant that could be planted in the garden. I would wait until spring to plant if you are in the northern hemisphere.
How quick do these grow? I'd like to do some for next year from the one i currently have? Or is that possible.
It depends on the cultivar. They can be as small as 2 ft tall or as large as 5-6ft tall.
I'm going to be a pain again 🙂 I have one that's potted I'm taking pieces from. How do I care for the potted one for the winter. It's still got some tall flowers
@@Pugmom76 once dormant you can put in the garage. Bring it out on warm days and occasionally water.
Awesome thank you again
How long does it take for that ity bity cutting to be as big as its parent?
2 perhaps 3 years
Where did you get those trays

Yes, I would never use this in areas it's invasive.
Should I remove my Lantanas due to getting a dog? I hear they are poisonous to dogs.
A brief Google search suggests it could make a dog nauseous.
It’s a beautiful plant, but it gave me the worst case of rash I have ever had.
I have the same problem with corn of all things. Not eating it. But if I go out and pick some in a field I get red dots on my arms and itch.
My husband told me that the only people who are not allergic to it are Native Americans!
I asked him, is that like a quick genetics test? He said, I don't know but that's what my Mom always told me. He's Osage.
It doesn't bother me and I don't know what tribe I am.
