How to grow lantana
Lantana camara
When to plant lantana
Set lantana out after the last spring frost. It is hardy as a perennial in roughly zones 7 and warmer (some cultivars to 7b), and in colder zones it is grown as a frost-tender annual or container plant set out once the weather warms.
Lantana is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
