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 />
