I have one challenging plant, however, and thought I'd ask if anyone has an answer for me. I bought a real nice lantana for my wife two years ago, one that has been pruned so it has a long stem and is a ball at the top. What's nice about lantana is that it flowers off and on from April to November (and is even beginning to now). The problem is that it is quite needy...it requires a lot of water, and quickly slumps if it isn't given water when it needs it. It is also a messy plant, dropping lots of leaves and "branch litter". So it is really a better outdoor plant, but I don't know if lantana's can stand cold weather, so I have brought it indoors the last two winters...where he/she lives quite contentedly, demanding water and dropping stuf on our floor. So...does anyone know if lantana plants can stand freezes?
