We are offering several perennial lantana selections which, in tests around the country stand up to the industry standard while offering an array of new colors. Lantana has many flower colors to choose from including yellow, orange, pink, and bi-color.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eTips for Growing Lantana\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn Zone 7b, it is critical to buy lantana and establish it in the garden before September so it develops a good root mass before cold weather arrives. The other key to success is to plant lantana in areas where the soil remains dry in winter....a wet, cold soil spells death for a lantana plant. We also do not cut back the old stems until spring arrives because leaving them intact improves winter hardiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eLantana shrubs like hot weather, full sun, are deer-resistant, have \u003ca title=\"article about flowers that attract butterflies\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/blogs\/articles\/butterfly-garden-plants-host-attract-butterflies\"\u003eflowers that attract butterflies\u003c\/a\u003e and hummingbirds, and can tolerate salt and drought once established.

In our trials, this is the hardiest lantana, with well-established clumps surviving short durations of -3 degrees F. The deer-resistant plants emerge from the ground in early May and within a couple of weeks are covered in showy orange (RHS 28A), yellow (RHS 17A), and pink flower heads that are produced nonstop until frost. Virtual sterility also prevents unwanted seedlings and promotes more flowering...and more hummingbirds. Established clumps will get quite large (to 10' spread) when happy! For full hardiness, establish well prior to winter and do not cut old stems in fall or winter when grown in marginal climates.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Plant Delights Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21000601093,"sku":"826","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/files\/Lantana-camara-Miss-Huff.i-826.s-64427.r-1_c5cea35f-e276-4ddd-a0d7-2653443911d3.jpg?v=1790777216"},{"product_id":"lantana-camara-ham-and-eggs","title":"Lantana camara Ham and Eggs","description":"\u003cp\u003eThanks to Bob Snyder for sharing this deer-resistant \u003ca title=\"See more hardy lantana\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/collections\/perennial-lantana-plant-shrub\"\u003ehardy lantana\u003c\/a\u003e he grows in his garden two hours west (colder) of PDN.
