    I recommend bringing them indoors, or taking cuttings to bring indoors. These plants will not survive the winter in your area. Taking cuttings will ensure that you keep the plant alive, along with giving the plant supplemental lighting indoors. Using a sharp knife, cut about 3 or 4 inches off of the tip of each branch. Make a solution of honey, an aspirin tab,and warm water. Put these tips into some moist soil (not wet or dry but in between) and pour the mixture into the soil. This will promote rooting.

    You can safely transplant your Lantana in early spring or fall. Avoid moving your plant during the warm summer months.
    You can prune back your plant in late winter or early spring. If your planning on moving the plant you can prune back at the same time.

    You can bring your Lantana indoors if your temperatures will fall below 55 degrees F.
    Keep the plant in a cool and bright location.
    Leaves will fall from the plant as it enters a dormancy, clean up all the leaves as these can be toxic to pets and children.
    Water regularly but sparingly.
    Watch for signs of pests over the winter period.
    Repot the plant if needed while dormant.
    Return the Lantana outdoors when temperatures warm in the spring.

    According to this article, "Patriot Cowboy", "Patriot Popcorn," Patriot Rainbow," "Chapel Hill Gold", and "Clear White" are some of the smallest, lowest to the ground Lantana varieties. Also look at the Weeping Lantana varieties.

    It would seem that the best way to control it's growth is to simply prune it. You can make copies of this plant by cloning the new growth that has been cut off.

    It will survive indoors as a houseplant. As long as you meet its requirements, you can keep it alive until it can go outside again.
