I was rather impressed with the bloom coloration last year, but alas, this one did not return for me (neither the one in a container nor the one in-ground). And we had a rather mild winter here and a very warm spring, go figure.

Just pulled the plants today (May 1) -- I suspect that if I would have left them in, they might have eventually resprouted from the roots in June or July, but one was a border planting, and the other was in a display container in a highly visible area, so I opted to pull them and replace with something I know will dependably come back.

They really are gorgeous plants, though.

I LOVE this lantana. It is beautiful and blooms all season which is long in Louisiana. You can plant one anywhere and it will grow well, add color and brighten any bare spot.
