Lantana in open ground

Lantana camara L.

Lantana is grown in open ground as an annual or container plant due to its lack of winter hardiness in temperate climates. The plant requires sunny sites and planting after spring frosts.

In the reference 10 varieties crop Lantana, where this is mentioned in the description.

In regions with cold winters, Lantana camara is used in open ground as an annual or as a container-grown plant. Pots with the plant are buried in the soil for the summer, which allows for easy transportation indoors for overwintering and restricts the spread of the root system.

Planting in the ground is carried out no earlier than the beginning of June, when the threat of frost has passed. To ensure abundant flowering and prevent shoots from becoming leggy, lantana requires well-lit areas sheltered from drafts, regular watering without waterlogging, and mandatory pinching of the tips to form a compact crown.
