How/when To Prune Perenial Lantana, Also Morve It

Question

This lantana was just transplanted this spring and is gigantic: over 6 ft. tall and 12 feet wide. It is far too big for current location and either needs severe pruning or to be moved yet again.

Answer 1

I move them when they go dormant here in Texas. Depending on how cold my winter was, by spring, I often need to prune off the dead wood. If your plant is evergreen, pruning/transplanting in winter will stress it the least. Careful if pruning now as it may result in new growth that will die when cold temperatures arrive. Note that I observe in my lantanas a tendency to get very wide when they get insufficient sunlight; they end up stretching in search of direct sun.
