I have yellow lantana around an above ground pool. In the spring, it is beautiful and blooms abudantly. However, around mid June each year, the leaves start to turn a lighter shade and the blooms fall off. I've tried a pesticide spray, but with no luck. Any suggestions? I live in South Georgia, but the plant usually seems to take the heat well.

You MAY be overwatering it or the chlorine from the pool splash could be affecting it.

That's what I was thinking too...many plants aren't going to do well if pool water is splashing on them all the time. If you don't think that's it, can you post a picture?

My mom has a pool (above ground) and she uses a non chlorine additive its great, something like swim soft or something. I will ask her tomorrow what it is and post back. She has plants all around the pool and this "water" from the pool doesn't seem to hurt them. I will post back monday if you would like.
