Pruning 'Miss Huff' in early winter could kill it. Southern Living magazine
had an article about this awhile back. The stems are woody and, if pruned
in early winter, moisture gets in the stem and rots the plant. Pruning
should be done in the spring.

I must have a 'Ms. Huff' as it has always been behaving as a perennial the
past 4 years. She gets a good pruning every winter, and she keeps coming
back in spring. It had once grown into a very large bush, has orange and
red flowers, gets full sun, and resides in very rich dirt, in Morrisville.
Hummingbirds love it!

I was told by the people at Big Bloomers in Sanford that the only
variety
they promote as perennial is "Mrs. Huff", though others may or may not
overwinter.

This weekend, at the Farmers Market, I picked up some very pretty
dwarf
lantana that was promoted to me as a perennial. I thought lantana was
considered an annual in zone 7; anybody familiar with a dwarf variety
and
whether it can winter over, or whether lantana in general can be
encouraged to survive the winter?

Thanks

Margaret
