Transplanting Lantana (Perennials)

[@_KingQuinn_]

Jim I really love that you don't only do native plants, I know natives are great for the environment, but people like us from the tropics where our natives are just green weeds and have little to no garden appeal, rely on commercial plants like lantana and other flowering ones that u cover, please continue doing what you're doing, I've had other channels in the past that have completely converted to native plants only and I had unsubscribed 😢 because I can't relate to what they have there, love the work! Waiting for the next video on the best plants for pollinators!

[@HalfManHalfCichlid]

I am in Indianapolis snd grow lantana in pots. I cut them way back in the fall, store them under lights at 60 degrees in the garage and they thrive. The trunks are getting larger and I may turn them into bonsai.

[@ladyela9283]

I need to transplant two orange/deep orange lantanas that have spread to about 6 feet. Thank you for the video💕 I bought a trenching shovel because of you - I save myself a TON of difficult work.

[@jeffreydmclendon]

Great video. I had a Miss Huff I was transplanting last year and it was so rooted in that the root ball broke in half. I planted both and they still took off this summer. Mother Nature and her plants are amazing.

[@JimPutnam]

They are tough plants for sure. Thanks for watching.

[@jameswomack8465]

Hello!! I have made some major improvements since I started watching your videos! We are also refinancing our house and the landscaping increased our property values dramatically!!! THANK YOU SIR!!!

[@JimPutnam]

That's great. Enjoy all your hard work!!

[@xtsylviacary]

Welcome to Raleigh! Glad to know a youtuber in the same community. :D

[@BirdieBlrrrd]

Lantana is one of my fav plants for Texas yards. So easy to maintain and grow.

[@Theprissyhen229]

I’ve transplanted sooooo many of those All Wrong because of that root system. I can preserve some of my hard earned (patience) growth now. Thanks!!

[@xiomaramartinez3212]

Thanks for share I’m a visual learner so this is deeply appreciate!!!

Glad to help. Thanks for watching 😊

[@leighcontella811]

Thank you so much for this! I have some I’m about to have to move and I was super nervous. I’ll watch this a few more times before I do it. 😂👍🏻

[@judymiddleswart9350]

Love my mexican sage!! Great tips I need to move a lantana in a more sunny spot soon.. it’s never bloomed and here in NW Fl they are like weeds so it must be sun/drainage issue.. thanks Jim again for great advice.. love your channel!!!❤️

[@daiseegray9110]

Great instructions! Love the Mexican sage flower🌱🌸

[@carmenbailey1560]

Hopefully we in Ontario will have some nice weather to do some gardening cleanup. Leaves are starting to fall now. Your garden looks beautiful and well thought out. 👍❤️😊

[@JimmySGriffin]

Jim, I thought Lantana was an annual for us here in NC. I have always pulled my up. Good to know!

[@estherlista]

There are some that annual but the New Gold Lantana that he featured here and Miss Huff are perennial in NC.

[@beetickler6418]

I have one in VB that comes back and also in Suffolk.

[@beetickler6418]

Not sure the names, orange +pink and yellow+white.

[@meredith3588]

That lantana looks great next to your purple flowers. I've spent the last few days moving plants around in my garden. My mother always made me help her move plants and trees when I was young and of course I didn't enjoy it, I understand it now.

[@JimPutnam]

Moving them is never as fun as shopping for new ones!!

[@cer516]

You speak of placing a retaining wall in your front yard, I hope you plan to teach us how to do this. Thank you.

[@princebilly9297]

Thank you so much for this video on the lantana. I just bought a bandana lantana and I can't wait until mine gets as big as yours was. Once again,👏👏🎉🎊 congratulations on your 100,000 subscribers.

This was real educational. I think I can do this if need be. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@sherrywalker4619]

I have moved my Lantanas too. They grew like crazy also but they are doing great!

[@fundamental1020]

I am in Virginia, so I think I am going to follow your lead and move 4 huge Lantana in big pots into the ground. I love this plant and colors. Thank you!

[@JimPutnam]

Good luck with them. A few extra leaves around them for the winter would probably help insulate them.

[@lauraarnold3870]

This was so helpful, thank you!! Also, what is that beautiful burgundy plant in the bottom left corner of the beginning of the video? 0:22

[@PBarrPrince]

I bought 2 lantanas that were on sale in September. Zone 7b. Will they have time to get established? I don't want to lose them. Thanks.

[@markh9825]

What is that gorgeous redish plant on the left of my screen? It is red leaves and a little bit of flowering at the top. Thanks!

[@nancybennett9265]

I had no idea this would be a perennial for me. I'm in 7A. Mine grew into a monster too! Good!

[@amberkay521]

Great video! I need to do this with a couple of plants. Can you tell me what the purple flower plant is in the container?

[@JimPutnam]

Plectranthus. It is an annual, but I took cuttings to keep it for next year.

[@sherryo.6600]

I have the plectranthus 'Velvet Elvis' and it's very full an has many blooms constantly. I would like to overwinter it indoors. Do you think that would be a waste of effort? How do you take cuttings for the next year?

[@JimPutnam]

I did the propagation videos a few weeks back, taking cuttings on annuals. It can definitely be taken in and out regardless. I have a neighbor that does that.

[@judithjohnson2111]

That was helpful. I need the 1st shovel you used, as yes I'm a bit of a weakling. 😊Thanks.👍

Nice. Thanks for doing that. Good luck with everything.

[@stephaniewhite974]

I hope you will do a video on abelias. I just purchased 3 of the kaleidoscopes.

[@JimPutnam]

I shot it yesterday. It will be up on Wednesday. Good luck with yours!

[@tiffanyheath9418]

My lantana in Mesa, Az is spreading out like a tree with spindly legs that branch out rather than being a shrub like what you have. How do I correct this as I want a shrub that is leafy and coloful. It's under the shade of a mesquite tree and gets watered regularly. It's flowering, but looks weird!

[@debbiesineath1952]

Looks great next to the Mexican Sage !

[@greenthumbelina7331]

I wish Lantana was perennial in my zone, but unfortunately, it's an annual for me! Those are gorgeous plants and come in so many beautiful colors. Thanks for sharing!

[@JimPutnam]

For sure. Definitely worth using as annual as well!! Thanks for watching 😊

[@greenthumbelina7331]

@@JimPutnam I agree with that Jim, I plant several every year in containers!

[@JoesChic68]

Jim, My lantana is HUGE. It's roots have extended under my house. I'd like to split and move some to at least one other spot. Can you give me any pointers? Thanks!!!

[@junesmart7352]

When I saw the title of this video I thought "Ah, well, I have failed with lantana 2 summers in a row, why would I want to transplant any?" WOW! You surprised me with new information - 'Miss Huff' is cold tolerant and good in my area. I had been buying ornamental (annual?) varieties in fiddly sizes, which didn't do well. Now I know what to plant next spring - 'Miss Huff'. I will buy them in 1-gallon sizes.

[@JimPutnam]

Miss Huff, Chapel Hill Gold, Carlos, and New Gold are usually hardy

[@lucilehermsen7741]

I have a lantana in a hanging basket. What do you recommend for Winter care? Enjoy your videos.

[@JimPutnam]

Depends on where you live really. It would not want to freeze solid. Best in the ground or in the garage if it is going to be below 32.

[@lucilehermsen7741]

Thanks for your reply. I'll put it in the ground .

[@anitahadley2871]

I planted some lantana this year. Miracle Grow plants from the big box store. They grew like tight spheres, much different than I thought they would. I’m not sure if they’re perennials or not but I am not crazy with where they are. I was going to pull them but maybe I should try moving. How can I tell if they’re a perennial?

[@carolwilliams2356]

Enjoy your videos. What is the purple plant to the left of the lantana? I planted a new garden this year and mine is sad compared to yours. There's always next year.

[@Clappsy]

I just transplanted Lantana (from pots) and some of them are wilting. I watered them in after planting, and the wilting began today. Could the soil be too moist? Should I just let it dry out?

[@randyman8984]

hi Jim couple questions for you could you have took that plant and made four smaller plants out of it? It would look ugly cuz you would have a full plant cut into pie shapes but would probably fill in pretty fast. Also what is the purple plant behind in the spot you moved the lantana, not the Mexican sage but the one thats in the gray pot?

[@laurakania1877]

Helpful video. Is it ok to move a 7' Degroot's spire?.. Do they move easily? thank you.

[@jenniferlafleur4290]

Hi Jim! Been watching your channel.. very interesting... so I live o. South Florida I planted a bunch of lantana last year and they perform well... this year none of my lantana bloom.. they mostly look like weeds than the way I envision them to look... I remove them and they're coming back with a vengeance and not flowering??? What can I do to make them flower since they growing nonstop?

[@audreybaird007]

Hi Jim, I have a question: are there 2 types of Lantana? I have some that the tag says is an annual. It's very hardy and has woody stems. I was going to put it in the greenhouse to overwinter, but I'd rather plant it in the flowerbed. Do you think it will survive? I'm in 7b.

[@JimPutnam]

They tag them annuals for sale in areas where they won't survive the winter. It should be hardy here, but it may be best to overwinter it in the container until spring. Just keep it from freezing solid, but it can be out on warmer days

[@audreybaird007]

@@JimPutnam Thanks!!!

[@amandaprice1846]

Hi Jim from Frisco, Texas! Thanks for the helpful video. I have a Lantana & several other established perennials that will need to be transplanted elsewhere to keep from losing them as we're about to dig a pool & several elements of my backyard will have to change. I also have established Hawthorne's in the same bed that are 4 1/2 years old I'd like to save as well, can they be moved? I'm also curious to know what plant in the container is to your left of the transplanted lantana & to your right in the container? Purple is my favorite color & I'd like to add both of these to my landscape! Enjoy your channel & keep the informative videos coming!🙂

[@JimPutnam]

They can definitely be moved. I would cut them back some. The same as I did the lantana. Just don't cut off all the foliage.

[@sherrywalker4619]

Man, I didn’t do nearly that much work! But mine are doing okay, thankfully.

[@laurenestubbs4322]

I pruned my back too early in September and have new growth. I suppose the winter will kill it . What to do? Should I mulch it?

[@janieperry5232]

What’s the purple plant to the left in the planter??

[@sarahgeyer2899]

Can you transplant lantana from the ground to a container? I’m in Upstate SC, zone 7B and need to move one and really want it in a pot. It’s just a bit larger than the one you have.

[@margegrant2280]

Love it

[@BMac6928]

Wow I did not know Lantana is a perennials 😃 I’m in zone 6a. Can we plant it as a perennials?

[@mariebarnes416]

Oh when you were pulling those annuals 😩.

[@JimPutnam]

It happebs this time of year. They will make good compost for next year's crop

[@judgemenot.gardener6563]

Hi Jim! This is so timely! I have 3 pots of Lantana. I'm not sure what variety, but they have orange and pink flowers. I live in zone 6b and would like to keep them for next year. Is it best to bring them in or put them in the ground?

[@JimPutnam]

Totally depends on where you live. Zone 8 or 9 I would plant them. Zone 7 I would store them in a garage when it is below freezing and plant them in the spring

[@sherryo.6600]

I wish lantana was a perennial here in Reinholds, PA . I'm in growing zone 6b and my lantana grew enormously this year and its still blooming prolifically. I hate to see it die. Would I be able to overwinter it indoors?

[@JimPutnam]

It is worth a try in a container that you can take in and out. It would definitely prefer to be outside anytime it is above freezing.

[@sherryo.6600]

Thanks! I'll have to try it out. I'm going to use our guest room for a plant room since we won't be having guests for the foreseeable future. 😎👍

[@jankankoo]

They Lantana grow year round in the Bahamas I make tea from them hope it’s the same species

[@gardeningjunkie2267]

I had a gorgeous lantana this year but then I noticed it was getting smaller and smaller and I couldn't figure out what was happening. I figured either a groundhog or squirrel got ahold of it, but it smells so strong that I couldn't make sense of it. Finally when it was more than halfway gone, I had enough and moved it to a safer area. It's doing great now but I really hope it'll come back next year. How late is too late to transplant a lantana in zone 7A? Also do you know of any animals that eat lantana or make a nest from it?

[@JimPutnam]

Most things avoid eating lantana, so I'm not sure what was working on it. Rabbits will eat almost anything. In 7a I would be concerned moving it even now. You can move it and maybe put some leaves over it when it gets really cold in January.

[@gardeningjunkie2267]

@@JimPutnam Thank you.

What’s the little pink one next to the lantana?

I’m in 7b Atlanta and planted annual lantana that’s still in bloom. It’s grown like a beast right over a tater tot arborvitae. So it’s actually a perennial in 7b? Should I prune it way back now?

Only some varieties are perennial in zone 7. It is worth a try.

[@middlesismonica]

I have a huge lantana just like that here in Winston-Salem. I just planted it in April. I want to keep it in the same place. Should I cut it back to the ground after frost or in the spring?

You are best to wait until spring to cut it back. If it is a bad winter, you can pile some leaves around it for a few weeks

Lantana will take over they grow crazy in FL, mocking birds love the fruit and nest in them once they get 4 to 5ft tall. im guessing thats a dwarf variety? I like letting them gain height and let them hang over the fence for support. wish i could grow that grass here in zone 9b
