March 26, 2022Q.Lantana Query
Our Northern California business district has had Lantana adding color to the street. We are in a very mild climate and these are in fairly full sun all day. Suddenly our Burlingame city crew was out there this morning pruning these rather severely. It has not been terribly rainy this year, so they've not been getting a ton of water from Mother Nature. I read your article on Lantana and don't think we've had botrytis or mold. I suspect the city public works guy routinely keeps the crew busy by tasking them with unnecessary chores. When questioned, he and another city bigwig routinely come up with seemingly plausible rationale. The plants, by the way, have routinely been trimmed and "manicured" to keep them from looking wild. They did this trimming maybe a month or two ago. Would you say this pruning was necessary?

Certified ExpertA.It doesn't hurt to trim lantana plants in the spring or late summer to keep them tidy and growing. These may have been extreme if it took off all the growth with leaves. Normally, a shearing doesn't remove all the foliage. Hopefully, it will grow back.

Certified ExpertA.This does not seem to be established. With proper care, they can far exceed the human lifespan. This is, given, that the plant is a perennial type. Annual Lantana will live for, only, one year.

May 31, 2022Q.Watering Trailing Lantana In The Summer Months.
hi, This happens every summer. Live in So Cal. About every other day the plant is very limp looks dry to me so I water. I do admit only water the area of the plant. When we do have rain after colder months and leaves are turning black I trim back and in Spring I lift plant and trim out underneath bare lengths. l don't know if they are called vines. I recently plopped a filled water bottle that I have made holes in top near where I think the roots are between two stakes. It's gone in a day,ha. Sorry to make this long but trying to add all info. Thank you for you time and information. My camera is still not added to "new" computer.

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, without photos it is hard to say what is happening. It does sound like they see quite a bit of stress from heat, watering, and transplanting. I would treat with a fungicide, proactively, to mitigate any infections that might take advantage of the situation.

Certified ExpertA.I would get it out of that soil and into some fresh potting soil! They aren't very picky, so a good potting soil will do. Treat it with a fungicide once you get it potted back up.

August 15, 2022Q.Get Rid Of Lantana?
My yard is fully perennial peanut and I have, what I consider, a weed that I believe to be L. montevidensis. The weed seems to strangle out the perennial peanut when it is not dealt with. I have been using roundup gel to treat the L. montevidensis which is very time consuming and arduous. Is there a better, perhaps preventative, way to deal with the L. montevidensis?

Certified ExpertA.Those shiny beads are the seedpods and they are toxic, along with the rest of the plant.
