How do you grow lantana, other than this?

Shrub lantana can grow up to 4 feet high with a spread of about 1 to 3 feet. Both varieties thrive in full sun. They require moist, well-drained soil. Lantana can be grown in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant zones 8 through 11.

How long does Lantana take to grow? Plant lantana in spring at least two weeks after frost has passed. Hardy lantanas won't grow in spring unless soil and air temperatures are very warm.

This is how to care for purple lantana.
