New Gold Lantana is a trailing form which<br />
produces masses of golden-yellow flowers from<br />
Spring to Frost! A butterfly magnet that is useful<br />
in the garden as an edger, in mass plantings or in containers. Easy to grow and drought tolerant. DO NOT<br />
prune in Fall. Cut back when new growth begins to emerge in spring. First off, never prune your<br />
perennial lantana in the Fall or Winter as this will insure death of the plant. Prune lantana only in Spring<br />
when new growth begins to emerge. Cut away all dead branches to a point just above where new growth<br />
is emerging. Lantana can also be sheared during early to mid-Summer to encourage new budding and<br />
flowers.<br />
Lantana is one of those maverick plants that actually does best when it gets so hot and miserable outside<br />
that all but the most dedicated gardeners call a two month hiatus to await more hospitable conditions. New<br />
Gold, a compact, free-flowering lantana with golden-yellow blooms, will bloom its heart out as we enrich<br />
the electric company.<br />
New Gold Lantana should be used en masse in the garden in sunny beds large enough to have an impact<br />
on you and the butterflies that frequent it. In flower beds, it should be spaced 16 to 18 inches apart in any<br />
reasonable garden soil.<br />
