Add Your Opinion About This Plant Kay (765) wrote on Feb 19 2010 Rating for this plant: Another must have for containers here in zone 5. It takes the heat well, and can be trimmed back when blooms fade. I have often over-wintered lantana in my garage. Then I have an instant container in the spring!

Dependable blooms all summer with litte water. Thrips can be a problem here, treat early with a systemic pesticide.
