all old stems by cutting back to a point where
new growth is beginning to emerge. Fall pruning
ensures death of the plant. |
No
other plant we know of attracts more butterflies
than the lantana's! Most varieties of lantana
are annuals, however we've found a few over the
years that have shown to be exceptionally hardy.
The most hardy is 'Miss Huff's Hardy' which grows
to 6 feet in height and 10 feet or more in spread
and produces an abundance of tri-color yellow,
orange and pink flowers. 'Mozelle' and 'Pink Caprice'
grow to 3 feet in height and 4 feet in spread
and produce pink and yellow bi-color flowers.
'New Gold' and 'Gold Mound' are trailing varieties
which grow to 18 inches in height and 3 feet in
spread and produce solid yellow flowers. Lantanas
bloom profusely from late May to frost and are
exceptionally drought and heat tolerant!
Special
Note: Do not prune lantana in fall as
this will insure death of the plant. Prune lantana
in spring when new growth begins to emerge from
the base of the plant. |
