I have the plant indoors in a pot. It only bloomed once and keeps putting root feelers out. What can I do?
Lantana is not really a houseplant -- it likes full sun. If you can take the pot outdoors, it might do better. Also, when you say root feelers, do you mean little rootlets growing from drainage holes? That sounds as if the plant is potbound, and needs a larger pot.

Are Lantanas annuals or perennials?
It depends on where you live. Lantana, like many plants, is perennial in the south - zones 11, 10, 9, sometimes 8. Farther north the winters are too cold, and lantana is grown as an annual, or a houseplant if you have mucho light. Here's some more info on lantana: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/lantana/lantana-plants.htm
Also, this is why it is helpful to know the USDA hardiness zone in which you live -- makes selecting plants much easier. This site explains more about the zones, and helps you locate your own: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/planting-zones/virginia-planting-zones.htm
My lantana & dahlia plants have not produced any flowers. They are in sunny locations till about 1:30, then bright light. I have fertilized with Vigero all purpose and water them. I live in Naples, Fl. which is about 92% every day & humid (considered sub tropical). Thanks, what do I do?
When plants don't produce flowers, the most likely reasons are too little light, or too much nitrogen. (I'm assuming there are plenty of nice green leaves.) Since from what you describe, they should have enough light, you could try increasing the phosphorous to counteract the possibility of too much nitrogen. Working some bone meal into the soil might be helpful. Also using a pine needle mulch could raise the acidity a bit. If you still don't get flowers, try different varieties, or different plant, next season.

I was wanting to give some of my lantanas to a friend. Can I dig up the root?
Since it sounds like your lantana is growing vigorously, you should be able to dig it up and divide it. Water well the day before, and dig it up early in the morning, so it's nice and moist. Take as much of the root as you can, and if the plant is large, you'll need to cut back the foliage.

I have gorgeous pink yellow Bandana Lantana. Can I take them out of the ground and pot them and overwinter them inside? If so, is it tricky? If not, darn!!
Since these plants can be grown successfully in containers, I do not see any reason why you couldn't overwinter them indoors. I would drop off the watering to only once monthly and trim it back before bringing it in as well.
I planted three lantanas too close to the front of my garden and would like to move them. They were weak plants all through the summer but now in the early fall they appear strong. When is the best time to do that?
If you can move plants at least 4 weeks before cold weather sets in, you can transplant in the fall.
Otherwise, best to wait till early spring, while it is still cool. This article may be useful when its time to move the plant: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/learn-how-to-avoid-and-repair-transplant-shock-in-plants.htm
I have a lantana tree that is doing great. I'm not sure if here in eastern Tennessee it will get too cold for it. If it does, should I prune it back, dig it up and put in a container that I can put inside? Thank you for any info you can give me.
The key to knowing if a plant will survive the winter in your area is to know what hardiness zone you live in. Check out this link to learn about USDA hardiness zones: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/planting-zones/usda-planting-zone-map.htm
Lantana is generally not winter hardy north of zone 9, or at the least zone 8. Some varieties die back in winter and return in spring. They do seem to respond well to being overwintered indoors, though. You can dig it up, and overwinter in a pot. Be sure to cut back the foliage at least 1/3 - 1/2. Some people put it in a cool basement and barely water; others keep in a sunny spot as a houseplant.
