Planting Instructions (from a 3.5" pot into the ground):
-
Timing: Plant in spring after the last frost has passed.
-
Location: Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil.
-
Preparation: Dig a hole twice the width of the pot and just as deep.
-
Planting: Remove the plant from its pot, gently loosen roots, and place it in the hole so the crown is level with the soil surface.
-
Backfill: Replace soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly.
-
Spacing: Allow 18–24 inches between plants for proper air circulation and mature spread.
-
Aftercare: Water consistently for the first few weeks until established. Once mature, reduce watering—lantana prefers drier conditions. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering.
