Dallas Red Lantana
Shipping & Returns
Shipping live plants sometimes has its challenges when dealing with inclement weather but we strive to have every single order shipped out on their scheduled shipping date. Most orders will be scheduled to ship within 1-2 weeks of ordering. Because a plant needs TLC we only ship out on Mondays-Wednesdays to ensure the plants aren’t stationed somewhere over the weekend with no water or sunlight.

Care Tips
Plant in full sun — lantana will not bloom well in shade. Avoid over-watering and over-fertilizing, which produces foliage at the expense of flowers. Cut back to 6 inches in late winter to encourage fresh growth. Deadheading is optional but encourages heavier bloom.
General Care Instructions
- Watering: Water deeply after planting. Continue regular watering for the first growing season.
- Mulching: Apply 2-4 inches of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the trunk.
- Pruning: Prune during dormant season to maintain shape and remove dead branches.
- Fertilizing: Apply balanced fertilizer in early spring for optimal growth.
