Florida Foliage Lantana

These plants thrive in full sun, meaning they require at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. If planted in partial shade, you will likely see fewer blooms and the plant may become leggy.

Yes, once established, Lantana New Gold is highly drought-tolerant. While they need regular watering during the first few weeks to settle in, they can handle dry spells well once their root systems are mature.

They are excellent for both. Their trailing habit makes them perfect for hanging baskets and containers, while their vigorous growth also works well for filling in garden borders or ground cover.

Lantana is quite adaptable and will grow in almost any soil type, provided it has good drainage. If you have heavy clay soil, mixing in some organic matter or compost before planting will help prevent waterlogging.

For a dense, continuous border, space the plants about 18 to 24 inches apart. If you are using them in containers, you can space them slightly closer, but ensure they have enough room for airflow.
