Plant Care & Growing Tips

To ensure your bright orange lantana live plants thrive and provide years of stunning blooms, understanding their basic care requirements is essential. These resilient plants are relatively forgiving, but optimal conditions will lead to the most spectacular results. They require full sun exposure, meaning at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily to promote abundant flowering and maintain vibrant flower color throughout the growing season. In particularly hot climates, some afternoon shade can be beneficial to prevent scorching, but too much shade will reduce flower production.

When it comes to watering, these perennial outdoor plants prefer moderate moisture. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. During hotter months or in containers, you may need to water more frequently. The ideal soil for Lantana is well-drained, sandy or loamy. Good drainage is crucial to their health. They thrive in temperatures between 65°F and 95°F and prefer moderate to high humidity. These plants are hardy in USDA zones 8 to 11, meaning they will return year after year in these regions. In cooler zones, they can be grown as annuals or brought indoors during winter. Fertilize sparingly; an all-purpose balanced fertilizer applied in spring and mid-summer is usually sufficient. Deadheading spent blooms can encourage more flower production and maintain a tidy appearance. With proper lantana plant care, you’ll enjoy a continuous display of their cheerful orange flowers.
