Cutting Back Lantana
On Fri, 09 Jan 2004 09:45:10 -0500, Hal opined:
If you are talking about Miss Huff lantana I don't believe you can hurt it by cutting it back. I removed the trash several winters and it grew back strong. (So thick it grew almost 8' tall last year.) I did have a few other varieties that weren't so cold tolerant and I lost a few of those plants. One was purchased as Dallas Red, another was similar (I don't know which is which.) and another had a varigated leaf with yellow flowers, you might want to be more careful with those if you have them. Regards, Hal Zone 8 Middle Georgia The 'Dallas Red' didn't do well for you? I bought several of them and I didn't get much production from them the first year. I'm hoping for a better stand this coming season. I don't like reds, but butterflies and hummers do. I also have the variegated variety you mentioned. I have it in the greenhouse. That is one beautiful plant. I had it in a container with Ipomoea 'Blackie' and that was beautiful all summer long. It's still blooming in the g-house. |
