Georgia zones 7a-b. Lantana does great here! It dies back in winter, especially in north Georgia. But it always comes back! One bush was 6 ft last year. This prunning video will really help! My lantana was full of multiple species of pollinators last summer. Win-win!
@@WildFloridian Great Video. I'm new to Lantana Camera. I'm in Missouri, am thinking I will have to bring it indoors for winter. I'm wondering if it it poisonous to cats ?. It gets cold enough here to keep it from being invasive ?. It grew alot although potted.
When giving the bush "a good trim" you can follow the shape of the sidealk or other dividing marker. The bush will start to maintain the shape but with more leaves/Foilage.
My husband has no mercy with the lantana plant and leaves them bare. The first time he did it I thought he had killed it. I was so mad! But it comes back stronger and blooms more!
I TOTALLY understand! 😂 It has taken me years to even want to try. I think of it like cutting your nails. I’m still trying to get better at pruning. So yes tough love 💕 for the plants! 😄
I'm from east northIndia and it's quite common here especially in river side, and it stays for ever, my mom broke small branch kind of and planter it, now it's huge with flowers like everyone day. So i just searched it on google and found your video, 😶🌫 y m i telling that
I’m on Zone 8 (central Alabama) and it dies back completely every year. I cut it all the way down when it’s completely dead, and it grows back every spring. Sadly, I have the bad kind, which the bees and butterflies do love, but I’ve never seen them pop up anywhere, and we have a ton of birds. This year they’re thick mounds with few flowers. ?? Since it’s late July, is there anything I can do to help it until I can get our native type?
Excellent video. I love in zone 7b, west central Alabama. I've seen other lantanas that made it thru our winter but I'm just now (mid-September) planting two that I got on sale. I have one bandana lantana already established since spring and it's doing very well. I figure I'll mulch for winter but I thought about surrounding them with piles of pine straw when it freezes. Do you think it will come back in spring if it dies back? How should I care for them come freezing weather? Thank you.
I'm in SC, have established Lantana. This year leaves were turning brown & lacy, then drying up. Hardly any flowers all summer. I usually cut back in winter when they die back. It looks like there may be a tiny bug on it. So tiny I can barely see. I'll try more water & some mulch. Thanks!
I'm in north Georgia and my lantana is flowering right now. When is the right time of year to prune and should you ever prune when the plant is flowering?
Purchased a house in Ocala area, went back north for the summer, came back to this all my shrubs, can I keep the lantana without it overtaking everything else
Depends what type of Lantana it is. Lantana camara and Lantana montevidensis are aggressive growers. Lantana stingocamara I think isn't quite as aggressive. Lantana depressa and White Lantana is slower and should be fine. Hope that helps Don!
@@WildFloridian thanks for the feedback. Got a new yard work guy, showed him what I came back to last October, he promised to keep it under control. Hated to cut it down because the dozens of butterflies love it but it was crushing everything. Hope he will keep it better than the last guy.
I found stigmaphyllon ciliates flower vine on my back fence haven't had a chance to google it yet but the flowers are perfect for pressing LOL . great video as always. sent you DM on insta
Thank you so much for your advice! I am in Parkville, MO and my lantana has flowered and exploded all over my front garden. They are beautiful. I am just wondering if they will keep throughout the winter... I know it said it was an annual when I bought them, but after reading a bit, I wonder if they will survive. Any tips?!?!
Ok so I was so inspired to run out and prune my lantanas (yay) uhhm... well I got out there and they're dead, so now what? What part of Florida are you in?
I’m in 9b/10a. So on the one hand, YAY, for inspiration. And on the other hand, on no, that is sad to hear that the Lantana is dead. If you are northern Florida, it may have died back. And may still bounce back. But they are tropical plants and it may be a goner. ☹️

Fantastic! I'm so happy it helped and I'm so happy you are helping our pollinators 😄
Good looking Lantana after a haircut. Nice to know we can prune. Great video. Thanks.
You’re welcome! 😄 Got keeping our native plants looking good!
Love your videos. Thank you for showing us how to prune Lantana
Thank you Lauren!

The big chunks you took while pruning, could you do that during the hot summer. In AZ and ours are massive and need to be cut down.

I can totally understand that! LOL!
Thank you! My Lantana has been super leggy and I’ve been scared to prune it back but now I’ll try that today ☺️
Yay! I’ve cut that one back a couple times since putting it in last year. They are very resilient. You got this! 😄
I am not a good pruner! I hate cutting things back! I guess I should consider it TOUGH LOVE 💕 thanks for the videos!

Don’t be afraid.
Great job! While I was growing up here in the 60-70’s lantana used to grow wild in the orange groves. It was hard for me to buy a weed. LOL
😂 That is funny! And interesting too!
Great tips! Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!

Can I separate the root system to share with a neighbor? 🤞
