Cut Lantana Back in February, Water and Fertilizer for Good Growth

Lantana regrowth when cut back to about 2 inches in February

Q. Why does Lantana grow and bloom with wild abandon everywhere but in my yard.  These plants are two years old and going nowhere.

A. Next February cut the stems of your Lantana back to about 1 1/2 inches from the ground. Fertilize the Lantana with a good quality fertilizer that promotes flowering (rose fertilizer is an example) and water it in lightly. That should take care of the problem.
