September 19, 2021Q.How/when To Prune Perenial Lantana, Also Morve It
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.

September 20, 2021A.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.

Certified ExpertA.Spreading Sunset looks similar to Bandana but is a spreading variety. Bandana is a mounding variety. Here are more options:

October 26, 2021A.I avoid letting the top few inches become very dry during winter and remove/prune dead wood when I confirm if there is new growth or dead wood. Perhaps water once a week or thereabouts (depends on how little humidity the environment for the pot has in the winter). Place the pot where air vents will not continuously dry the soil. Lantana goes dormant for me as temperatures recede and the number of sunlight hours goes down.

Certified ExpertA.As long as they are indoors, you can consider it, perpetually, perfect for your plants. With this being said, you can root them at any time. Here are some articles that will help you:

November 16, 2021A.Yes, wait until the berries are black to collect seeds. Be aware that propagated from seeds, the new plants may be different.

Certified ExpertA.You can prune them back to about 6 inches from the ground in late winter or early spring, just before new growth starts. You don't really need fertilizer unless your soil is poor. Here is more:

Certified ExpertA.I suspect it could be a bane to citrus growers because lantana grows rampantly in frost free areas such as where citrus is grown. In California and other warm areas, there are restrictions on where it can be planted.
Oddly enough, there is a lantana cultivar named 'Luscious Citrus Blend.'
