April 30, 2016A.There is no such thing as a deer-resistant plant, and when deer populations are high and food becomes scarce, deer may feed on plants that are thought to be deer-tolerant. However, deer generally do not like plants with pungent aromas, such as lantana.

May 5, 2016Q.bright yellow lantana flowers turning white
My bright yellow lantana purchases two weeks ago is growing, BUT why are the blooms turning white? The blooms were originally a bright yellow and are turning a creamy white. The new blooms look as though they will be yellow. The pot is in a full sun area on a balcony facing west.

May 6, 2016A.What you are seeing is normal - lantana blooms will change color as they mature.

June 16, 2016A.Is your plant showing signs of disease? Leaf spots, browning leaves, branch die off, leaf drop or leaf curling could all be signs of disease or pests.
If you plant is simply not growing well, it could be due to some winter die off or lack of nutrients.
Here are some links that will help you pinpoint the cause.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/lantana/lantana-plants.htm

19010Q.lantana plant
Can I leave my lantana in the same planter it came in?
- Answered by

July 5, 2016A.Generally the nursery container will be fine for the first season with a plant.
In colder regions a Lantana is grown as an annual but in zones 7 and above it can be grown as a perennial.

Zone 7Q.Lantana leaves
Some of the leaves on my perennial lantana (Miss Huff I think) are turning a bicolor of white and green. Not powdery mildew for sure. But what would cause the leaves to turn like that although only a few are bicolor at this time? Also, she is not blooming at all right now but did earlier in the season. Would that have any effect on leaf color?

July 10, 2016A.There are many hybrid varieties of Lantana.
Hybrid plants can often revert.Here is an image of a variegated Lantana.

37215Q.lantana not blooming
I have lanatana again this year. It has barely bloomed all summer. It is in full sun, no bugs, no green pods, and I do not over water it. I recently gave it a small amount of Miracle Grow. Do you have any thoughts on how to get it blooming? Thx, Debbi
