Planting Instructions from a 3.5" Pot:

1. Choose the Right Location: Select a sunny spot in your garden that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
2. Prepare the Soil: Ensure the soil is well-draining. Amend heavy clay or sandy soils with organic matter to improve drainage and fertility.
3. Planting:
   • Dig a hole twice as wide and the same depth as the pot.
   • Gently remove the Lantana from the pot, being careful not to disturb the roots too much.
   • Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface.
   • Backfill the hole with soil, gently firming it around the base of the plant.
4. Watering: Water thoroughly after planting to help settle the soil and establish the roots. Keep the soil consistently moist for the first few weeks.
5. Mulching: Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
6. Maintenance:
   • Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system.
   • Once established, Lantana is drought-tolerant and only requires occasional watering.
   • Prune lightly after flowering to encourage new growth and maintain shape.

With its vibrant flowers and easy-care nature, Orange Bicolor Lantana Camara is a perfect choice for adding lasting beauty to your garden.
