How to grow Miss Huff Lantana with a detailed description

[@wonderwhat4]

I was getting tired watching you hold that plant. Thanks for the videos. I bought one of these yesterday and wanted some insight.

[@JudyG53]

Thanks Jim! Whenever I am researching a plant I always check your channel first to see if you have anything on it. You are always so thorough and very helpful. I appreciate you. Don't ever stop!!! :)

[@JimPutnam]

Thanks Judy👍

[@53peace]

Such a detailed and no nonsense video! Thank you so much! Everything I needed to know including zones. Brilliant and of course subscribed 😊🙏

[@beverlymoore7354]

Thank you for the details. I love lantana & wasn't successful with them last year. 2 of mine did not come back; however, my neighbors came back & she neglects hers. With your info, I feel I will now be successful.

[@ladym6738]

Have planted as a back drop over an acre. Love the sparkle of pink and yellow flowers. They have to be tough to grow here in Central Texas. Plus deer generally leave then alone. Each cut-back encourages multi branching. Also easy to propagate. Thanks for vid.

[@denisemcdonald4663]

Planted for the first time this year and I love it! Wasn’t sure what I needed to do for winter, your video was what I needed!

[@angelafestervan7596]

I really appreciate these videos. You get to the point and give us the meat of the most valuable information. Also, I love that your voice and accent sound exactly like Kenny Powers. ❤️

[@KParsons743]

I bought 2 of these and look forward to the pop of color in my pollinator garden next year!

[@SonegoPatricia]

Please demonstrate spring pruning (herbaceous perennial - zone 7).

[@soniaynclan9079]

Everything I needed to know, very well explained. Thank you.

[@JimPutnam]

Glad to help. Thank for watching

[@connierapp6570]

Can you show what is a bud and what is a spent flower, please!? Thanks!

[@Dhalpourie]

Great tutorial. Very thorough. Much appreciated.

[@raymeramos8754]

Thanks for the information, it's very helpful. One thing though, why didn't you have a small table that comes up to your waist next to you, then set the pot on it. That way you can give your presentation without constantly messing with the pot. My arms were getting tired just watching you fiddling non-stop with the plant. Other than that, you presented very useful information. Thanks again.

[@foru2c]

Thanks so much this is an amazing video, so happy to have found it. I have planted three Miss Huff’s this summer they came from a 3 inch pot and they have grown to be about 1-1/2 feet tall to about the same widthwise so far this summer and it’s only been about 2 months, I’m so excited! I’m just hoping I have given them enough room in between! Thanks for the great tips I wish I had planted some wood chips in with my clay soil but I will hope for the best and perhaps put some down before winter time I am in zone 7a in Nashville, TN, wish me luck that they winter well, as they are my absolute favorite perennial!

[@janisripple754]

Love the two tone Lantana

[@lucrtrvl]

Jim’s Miss Plantana reminded me of one of my young cats who has ADD and can’t stay still while I’m holding him in my hands. He also stays right under my feet when put on a ground.

[@marlyhort]

Detailed indeed. Thanks so much for sharing. Starting to experiment with Lantanas in Zone 9b... wish to know how to shape them...

[@Ok-Mardy]

Nice detailed info on lantana! Good job

[@TerriMcglothin]

Great video. I watched several this morning and you had the most information and didn't beat around the bush. I've been shaping mine to make a hedge.. would I cut it back after the frost? And how do you start cutting?

[@tashiwangmo5456]

This plant fragrance is very strong.I have seen this plant when I was in school this plant grows everywhere in the road no need much care

[@meandmysis2779]

I brought a handful of these from this year's 4-H club and have noticed they all have a green bud/pod where a flower should be. Should I just give it time to bloom or do I clip off these buds? The plants are a yellowish green. Any advice is appreciated

[@lynnwagner3980]

Love this plant. Very helpful information

[@MrMannyboy329]

I have cutting from what I was told from a Ms Huff and I noticed they have little thorns on them. Does Ms Huff have thorns?

[@KatrinaTrys]

Ever thought about selling to your KZbin family? 😁 You have such beautiful plants...

[@derekkerr6158]

im in zone 5a and it grows great here. it wont survive the winter but it will survive in the garden even when it gets shade. the shade does slow down the growth quite a bit though.

[@marxfish]

Last fall I trimmed back my vast lantana plants and now it being late March I see no sign of it coming back. The stems are all dry and brittle. Did I screw up somehow?

[@OfftoShambala]

Purple lantana is green and produces flowers year round in Phoenix... butterflies flock around them... new gold tends get woody and stops flowering in winter so I stick with the purples... most soil in Phoenix is clay but I live on old farmland with south facing ... some of the more exposed lantana, the purple, is frost sensitive, but all my lantana growing near the house or otherwise protected is not affected by freezes... although we have not had a hard freeze in years... they get minimum daily water with drip system... although your technique is good if one does not have drip system... so far the purples are my favorite for their year round blooms in Phoenix area... I want to try this one and grow it into a tree

[@JimPutnam]

Thanks for the info.

[@vickylyons2919]

Thanks for your time, enjoy watching your video's. Your awesome.

[@moirategman6935]

Is it true that the dark blue seed pods can be saved to grow new plants, if yes then can you make a video and show me

[@janetwhite2039]

I live in N Texas..we are having extreme heat and I a really worried about my Gold Lantana. I planted it in a not so big planter in late spring and it was doing great.Watered it twice a week with just a bit of water..now I am horrified that it's going to die because of this heat..104 degrees +..it's not looking as good..any suggestions?

[@stephenp1131986]

Very well explained, it has helped alot especially with regards to over wintering. I live in UK this is almost unheard of here, (to grow Lantana as a herbaceous perennial), and in most places it wouldn't be feesible, but I planted one in a really dry, sunny microclimate.. it's now early April and although there is no sign of growth, I did the stem scratch test and the stem under is still solid and green, so remarkably these are likely to be deciduous this year rather than herbaceous... as yet we haven't had the warmth to trigger growth - currently in the high 50's low 60s territory. I hope it makes a quick comeback for a longer growing season. I'd normally expect these to re-emerge in May though here. (zone 9a winter minimum but only heat zone 2-3.)

[@randyman8984]

did it ever put on any growth?

[@SSmall29624]

Thank you for your very useful info. My Lantana has stopped blooming since early August. So I will trim it due to its height and give it more water.

[@cassiadeabreu7752]

Very thorough. I am not familiar with the numbered zones. Perhaps you could add that information. What is the numbered code for California?

[@esli44]

my lantanas are bushy and green but just not flowering. They get about 6 or 8 hours of sun and I have removed drip irrigation line from around them, which they liked. Not sure what’s the problem..

[@virginiav.1172]

Concise and super informative. Thanks!

[@jerryholston6536]

Where can you order Miss Huff lantana's? And what other types of large lantana's can you recommend

[@AnnDavis-r8b]

I live in Az. our summers are very hot. I often should I water my Lantans. Last summer all my Lantans died.😢

[@solarwinds-]

Hi HortiTube, My question is about sun. I live in north central Texas where it gets over 100 degrees F, cookie sheet weather. The humidity swings wildly from very high 80% to very low 18%. I'm brand new to lantanas. I bought a baby, only a twig with one flower cluster. Do I grow her in full sun all day or something a bit milder? Thank you for any advice you can provide.

[@renatara9026]

My lantana was growing very well in a pot, but I have moved it home recently before the first frost since I am in zone 5B. At home the leaves imediately started drying no amount of watering seems to help. I also sprinkle it with water since I though maybe the air is too dry. Still leaves continue to dry out. Do you know how I can save this beautiful plant?

[@TheRaqessarr]

Great video, thanks! Can you please link me to a good video that can inform me about soils and adding different things for different plant types?

[@laurabetholiver7641]

Extremely helpful. Thank you!

[@maureenmckenna5220]

Able to have Miss Huff as a perennial in 7b. Fills a huge hole in my garden with profuse flowers and no care, other than cutting it back because it wants to cover everything around it. I planted two and could have gotten away with one, easily.

[@6996katmom]

I love my lantana. When I was a kid my grandma had one at the base of her stairs. I love the lemon smell from it. I try to prune mine correctly, but lately the stems are huge and it is so open. I want it bushy. How do I do that?

[@tessmiller7968]

Jim, excellent segment but how do you deadhead Lantanas?

[@soulincolor]

Your channel is very helpful. Thank you for this content!

[@cathyplantlover2862]

I just bought seeds for latana do they need light to germinate?

[@polynesianarms]

What plants would be best in Las Vegas, NV (Front yard) that's not too big, beautiful colors, & amazing smell?

[@CatsOrangeAndGrey]

I accidentally caused the flowers to fall off by spraying them with hydrogen peroxide. Will thru still grow back? I'm in zone 9a and it's always hot. Should I trim them? And, by the way, this is an excellent video.

[@olsonlr]

Is this the most hardy lantana?

[@SuperTudors1]

When do you prune in Charlotte NC?

[@sheilasavage2131]

Are all lantana that hardy?

[@MrMannyboy329]

And they do have little thorns, never thought Lantanas had thorns.

[@evendibonsaylantana6788]

love lantan 😍😍

[@Predator18884]

Mine stopped flowering I think I didn’t water it like I was suppose to. What can I do

[@grace3097]

I love lantana because of deer resistant

[@adrih9767]

how many inches apart you plant them?

[@ananm3442]

When is the best time to plant lantana seeds?

[@janisripple754]

Thank you

[@Асабча]

Привет какой удобрение даётьте

[@iqbalazizah1951]

HELLO...WHAT ABOUT COMPLETELY RED COULER

[@middlesismonica]

Does this grow bigger than New Gold or are the about the same size?

[@randyman8984]

It gets way bigger than new gold, at least in my area

[@kelakramer944]

Please do a video on fatsia. It’s so underused in the garden

[@georgiahan560]

Thanks

[@Valkyriepedersen]

I ordered 100 seeds of lantana camara. The seeds were dark brown dry and some looked like half seeds. I planted them in pro grow soil in individual cell packs 40 to a tray, have kept the soil moist not allowed to dry out, and nothing!!!! Its been just over 2 weeks and nothing............any advice?

[@roseohse4931]

I just read somewhere don't be discouraged it takes anywhere from 14 to 120 days to germinate

[@davidlj53]

Great video, thanks

[@rockmom62]

My lantana bush is over powering my daylillies. How do I prune it with out it looking bad?

[@JimPutnam]

This time of year you can cut it super hard. It will be back quickly

[@Nothingfailz]

Will it be killed to the ground at 10F, 5F/ -13C, -15C!? What about too wet soil in winter? If killed to the ground, when would it start flowering after regrowing? What is the scent like? Is it wafting/ carried on the air? How poisonous is it to cats and humans? What would happen if ingested? Thank you.

[@myradzw]

Can Miss Huff be turned into a tree?

[@polynesianarms]

Good morning! What would your recommendation be to plant a Miss Huff Lantana in Las Vegas, NV where the weather is hot majority of the times? Mahalo's (Thank you) in advance.

[@lawsonone6015]

I grow it in Henderson. Three years going now. You'll do great!

[@ViolentKorSimon]

I have recently started doing the Monarch Butterfly/Bee garden and have noticed that both species seem to LOVE this plant. I’m guessing because it’s a strong food source that lasts. There is a large plant in a parking lot that id like to try and clone! Is this plant easy to clone or are most plants about the same in that aspect?

[@kdegraa]

ViolentKor Simon in Australia at least, just turn your back for ten minutes and when you turn back, a lantana plant will be there.

[@randyman8984]

very easy to take a cutting and make another plant. Ive done it numerous times with a high success rate here in georgia

[@rebeccaprieto3429]

Can Lantana be transported to another spot. I was given 4 plants and didn’t realize how BIG and beautiful they get! Lol!

[@JimPutnam]

Yes, but it may be best done after the coldest part of the winter.

[@mickyunit]

Can you please explain how to make lantana into a standard?

[@mubarakshaikh6216]

Jim bro, very wealthy information ! Please let me know how to propagate Trailing Lantana thru cutting ! I hv white n purple.pl revert .

[@janisripple754]

I’m in Michigan Oakland Cty

[@ColorTheDesert]

Do you have a video on white lantanas? When is the best time to plant them? I live in El Paso Texas. Thank you!! Would it be ok to plant in October or November?

[@JimPutnam]

+Lanica Yu- Richardson I don't have one on a white variety. They aren't cold hardy in my area. Should be no problem for you anytime.

[@macys5076]

What zone is Michigan?

[@freedomfitness8720]

I bought 6 of these & it's already August here in Houston. Guess what? Not one bloom! Why????? It gets straight sun all day but only green leaves. I try so hard. I even fertilised with Super Bloom.

[@5josullivan]

I live in the waco area now. Did live in houston for a while. I have one in my back yard and have come to the conclusion that the more you try to care for it, the less it likes it. I prune mine back in early to late spring and then walk away. Fertilizing minimally or not at all. Just make sure you plant it with the root ball slightly above ground level. Mine has rooted itself in a tree trunk and it does fine. It's really not a fussy plant. Exactly why I love it.

[@mjade1673]

Oh gosh i can't wait 👏😃😃

[@themontephone875]

(that website in your description page is routing to make-up)

[@gulmihrab4368]

Thank u so much 👌

[@hopeking3588]

They say the birds carry the seeds but in the north it dies as a annual

[@RobbieEnglishClub]

Thank you for the great tips! I bought a single stem Lantana and I noticed it grows so fast because I live in a tropical place. Its flowers turn pink before they fall off. Is it true that this plant can be a mosquito repellent? Greetings from the Philippines!

[@JimPutnam]

+Robbie Valentino They do have a strong scent, but I never believe that mosquitoes can be kept away in those ways.

[@kdegraa]

Seriously, kill it. This plant will take over the environment before you know it.

[@5josullivan]

@@kdegraa Depends on where you have it planted. I've had mine in zone 8 for the last 10 yrs and it stays tidy and in one spot. It's under a tree close to the trunk. No problems and bunches of flowers. Birds love the berries. Dont eat them, they are toxic to mammals and humans.

[@marlyhort]

...btw, in my place, the rabbits like to mess with the Lantana....

[@randyman8984]

I live in north georgia.Could this variety be planted in a pot container? This area gets alot of sunshine.Would it come back next season after winter here??

[@JimPutnam]

Great container plant, but it will not overwinter unless it's in the ground.

[@playarf]

Jim, you should use a table in front of you. Holding a pot and talking must be hard for you! lol. They are heavy.

[@michaelbradt6853]

Please put down the plant when you talk. Hard to watch when your holding the plant and moving it all around. It looks like you don't know what to do with the plant while you talk to the camera.

[@5josullivan]

Oh shut up. If you dont like it, move on. No one asked for your opinion and no one gives a flip.

[@kdegraa]

In Australia lantana is a noxious weed destroying land and lives. The stuff in his hand has taken over millions of acres of land and is literally everywhere. Whoever brought it to Australia really caused a lot of problems. We don’t need tips for growing it, the stuff grows everywhere.

[@lawsonone6015]

You should speak with the plant set on a table instead of awkwardly holding that big grow pot and shifting it from hand to hand.

[@kevinklingner7712]

Little lantana is terrible weed in coastline tropical Australia.

[@hopeking3588]

Ha I love this plant in a pot.they are saying its invasive and killing cattle.
