These are very very popular in the California desert. People plant thousands in their yard as a ground cover. This is another cool way of growing them!! Thanks!
I really do wish everyone spoke as quiet, soft and calmly as you do. Im a dude. Im not gay either. But your voice is soothing bro.
I love that shape so much, what a cool idea. Mine are still babies, they had a hard time establishing this year. I sprayed BT/Neem and put a little of the Bayer Rose Care which is a 6-9-6 on them mostly because they were getting decimated by pests and they seemed to appreciate that. That rose care stuff is so great for ornamental plants.
What a cool way to trim them!
They look so adorable as trees. Thanks for all you do.
Yes that’s what I have, long branches with a few buds on the end.
Very educational! Thank you
Yep @1:56 that’s me! Mine are green and getting long but haven’t bloomed yet. I want them like yours. That’s GOALS!! I’m going to trim them back like you mentioned. Thank you TCG 🙌🏽🌼
Yup it happens if you don’t give them some attention. Give it a prune and let me know how it goes!
@@thechaosgardener👍🏽🌼😁
What is the name of your gold lantana. I want one. Your video is the best one I found to explain why prune & how to prune. . Please do one on feeding and winterizing.
Gorgeous and so informative!!
Beautiful
Just planted a new lantana gold in a pot .I live in N Texas..any thoughts or suggestions on the care.It gets plenty of sun.I give it a drink of water 2 or 3 times a week. New to this plant..it has started to bloom.
Sounds like the same climate as Arizona. I have a half dozen videos about Lantana. Check those out and see if they help.
Bought one of these and it's so beautiful. Alas had to return it. 😣 Highly toxic to dogs. Such a shame. Enjoy them 😍
Thank you for posting. I had no idea. Now I have to move mine.
How can one make it grow up like this. Mine is full of flowers but it grows then falls aside, still beautiful but not like theses bushes.
Lots of pruning
Thanks your sharing...
Thanks for this and for the lantana playlist! In here, you mention pulling the green stems from the trunk instead of pruning them, that way less branches come back. Why does pulling off vs. pruning make a difference?
Great question I probably should have talked about that. With Lantana, pruning and leaving behind any bit of stem seems to result in 2+ future branches. Tearing them off typically results in callusing and from my experience results in less future suckering from those positions. That’s how I maintain a tree type structure. I fertilize these with cow manure so they grow way faster than normal and thicker branches than normal.
@@thechaosgardener Good to know! That makes me want to learn the reason for that, but that'll sure help with my lantanas. Thanks for the reply!
Awesome video! How can you turn the ground covered lantana into a tree like yours? I'm new to lantana, and mine is 5 gallons now
Prune it back to a tree trunk shape when it goes dormant. It takes a couple years to get a thick trunk. Think bonsai:) good luck
My Lantana always lay to the ground. Help
What fertilizer do you suggest? How often? Thank you!
I use a half bag of the cheapest manure from the closest garden place per Lantana
How old are these lantanas? Planning to train mine into tall tree 🌳:)
4 years old now
These must be Shaodw The Hedgehog's favorite type of flower
Will my plants grow back in the spring? We live in NYC. So we do get cold and snow.
Depends on how cold. Lantana takes slight frost but a hard freeze will kill it. I’d bring it indoors if you get below 25
I bought a white lantana off a sale rack and when I first got it, I bloomed a few times but hasn’t in a long while. I have it in a pot and water it maybe twice a week as we’ve had very hot weather this summer. Am I doing something wrong?
The lantana in this video is 3 years old and it’s in the ground. They do much much better in the ground in the summer so they can have long roots for as much water as they can want. If you can’t that’s alright but you’ll want lots of direct sun and feed them with manure once a year
What do you do when you have leggy lantanas and lots of dead looking wood at the center?
Prune hard and fertilize
What’s your recommendation for watering frequency and length of watering for lantanas?
Great question. I use drip watering. I water every 8 hours for 10 minutes in early summer with dedicated 1/2 gph emitters per plant. I dial it back to 3 minutes or less approaching winter and up to 15 minutes mid summer. I have no watering days twice a week for all of my plants to stimulate deep root growth.
I have buds but no blooms! What am I doing wrong?
I’m in Indiana and they’re in FULL SUN! They’ve been planted about 2 weeks
Patience. The plant probably wants to get roots established first. They do best on year 2-3 so be patient first year.
@@thechaosgardener well they are annuals here in Indiana 😩
@@thechaosgardener I’ve planted them before and they did great! Not sure what I’m doing wrong now! The yellow ones are only budding but the colorful ones are blooming😢
@@thechaosgardener I wish I could send you a photo
Will these come back year after year in zone 7b? I thought they were annuals.
Not sure about zone 7. My zone 9 property grows them as perennial. They do not come back in my zone 6 property after a hard frost.
Me gusta eso que hizo .
Mine never does good. If something doesn’t change with them, ai am not trying anymore.
Your lantanas are beautiful. I have been trying to get an answer to a question I have about the smaller looking spiky flower buds (for lack of a better word) that do not bloom. I can see some in your videos but I cannot add a photo to show you exactly. Can you explain the spiky looking non bloom thingy?
I have not observed that exact thing but I would speculate that it might be a nutrient issue. I would recommend fertilizing with a nice aged manure. I give my Lantanas a half bag of manure each every 6 months. I spread it around the base not touching the trunk and then add some mulch to cover the manure to keep the nutrients from not getting absorbed. Alternatively you can also dig the manure into the soil. Mulch is pretty important too because it adds carbon to the soil which supports healthy mycorrhizal fungi which is what really makes those huge and plentiful blossoms
Thank you. I can see a few on your plants. I think it is probably normal but I am curious what they are. My plants are fairly new so they haven't gotten their mojo yet. New blooms are coming but am curious about the spiky ones that don't appear to be blooms. May need to take a visit to a nursery. Thank you so much for your videos. You have a nice flair of explaining things in a short period of time.
@@carolynsmith3191i just rewatched the video and I see what you're talking about. I honestly have no idea what that happens. I know my passionfruit vines do something similar with mini flower buds that never mature. I speculate that's more common in less mature lantanas because in passionfruit vines they do the mini flowers the first year or two and then after the third year it's mostly all mature flowers.
Oh my goodness! You are the best! Such a quick and explanatory reply. 👍👍👍
I have many different varieties of lantana on my property and I have noticed that some colors grow off old wood and some come straight from the ground, is this normal? Everyone says to cut them all to ground when dormant but I have some huge lantana and I am afraid if I do that they will not be huge again that following spring if I cut all the old wood off they have to start back from the ground. I hope that makes sense lol. Are the certain varieties that don't grow off old wood? I am in Texas zone 8b
All of mine grow off of old wood. I accidentally stepped on one once and broke the trunk off at the ground though and that triggered about 20 suckers to come up and create what looked like a hedge. The trick with lantana is lots of pruning. Every time you trim a branch it will fork into 2 branches.
Awesome Video ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐... Jacksonville, Florida....Can you tell us what kind of Fertilizer are you using ?
Cow manure I put a half bag under each bush each spring.

Me gusta ppr que también esta en espanol
Thanks
Gracias por ver
Will they tolerate a Michigan winter
Can you suggest some fertilizer if i am growing it in a pot
Honestly I would recommend growing in the ground if possible but if it must be grown in a pot I would recommend wood chips and cow manure on the soil surface
Is that the "new gold" variety?
Not sure. I just had one bush that I liked better than the others so I cloned it. I didn’t buy them.
I think you can buy similar ones at the box store.
Why is propagating red lantana seems harder than yellow ones?
How old do you think they are?
When I made that video maybe 3 years?
Hey tcg, is it true lantana flowers repel mosquitoes?
Yup! I think you have to extract and concentrate the essential oil though. I have tons of lantana and during monsoon season I still get hit by mosquitoes in my yard
Bit*
Where is this?
Florence Arizona zone 9b
Are these drought tolerant?
Very drought tolerant
what species are these????
lantana camara
they are poisonous----
Yup don’t eat Lantana! It will make your liver quiver!
