Propagating Lantana

Question

I usually buy a lantana plant with orange and yellow blooms in the spring to use in my fall decorations. The one I purchased this year was not yet blooming, but the picture on the tag had colored blossoms, so I assumed the plant would. Well, it’s blooming white now which is lovely, but I would still like to have a colored one. Is it possible to thin them or take cuttings and grow new plants? I have done this with other plants before. If so, I could ask online if anyone has any to offer. I’m thinking there are probably none left in any of the garden centers/nurseries. Thank you ever so much for your consideration.

Answer 1

I bet the garden centers still have lantana, but they can be propagated. Here is how:
