Description
For years we sold ‘Trailing Lavender’ as an “annual” because we thought it wasn’t cold hardy north of USDA Zone 9a. That was until 2006, when we planted a patch of it as an annual flower bed in our USDA Zone 8a gardens here in north central Georgia. Instead of removing the plants at the end of the growing season we left in the flowerbed. After what was a typical cold winter, which usually kills off the tender annual lantana varieties, we were very surprised to see than all the Trailing Lavender Lantanas survived. That was in 2014 and the plants have come back year after year since.
Trailing Lavender is one of if not the most profuse bloomers of all the Lantana varieties we grow in our gardens, rivaling New Gold. All summer long and well into fall, the trailing mounds are literally smothered in very pretty and soothing bright lavender flower clusters the butterflies and hummingbirds will flock to!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing about 12 inches tall and 3 feet wide or so during a season, Trailing Lavender Lantana is ideal for use in a grouping, mass plantings, as a border along paths and walkways, or to cascade over walls and boulders in sunny landscape borders and home foundation plantings. Its smaller size lends well for use as an accent in smaller garden spaces and a spiller in pots, planters, hanging baskets and other containers. A fine addition to butterfly and hummingbird gardens, purple theme gardens, rock gardens, sunny perennial gardens and the Xeriscape (low water needs).
Note: Keep in mind that plants growing above ground in containers are not as cold hardy due to the roots exposure to the colder air temperatures. That said, pots can be brought indoors to overwinter in USDA Zones north of 8a.
Suggested Spacing: 2 to 2.5 feet apart for mass plantings; 5 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 8a, where this Lantana variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
CAUTION! Avoid pruning hardy Lantana in the fall as doing so almost always ensures death of the plant! Wait until new growth begins to emerge in spring to remove dead stems. A mid-summer shearing is okay.
Hardy Lantana are very easy to grow in most any moist to somewhat dry well-drained soil of average to even poor fertility and full to mostly sun. Constantly soggy soil or standing water is problematic. Some light shade is tolerated but plant will grow more dense and produce the most flowers throughout the long flowering season (June to Frost) in full to mostly sun. We suggest at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for best performance.

Was well secured in shipping box, doing very well planted. ——— WBG RESPONSE: Hi Mike – Thanks for providing your review. Glad to hear the trailing lavender lantana are doing well. I have a large patch of these in my gardens that have come back for 8 years straight…and to think, for a decade before that I treated this variety as an annual here in north-central Georgia. Accidentally left plants in the ground one year and they came back the next spring. Not only are they perennial, they’re equally as cold hardy as the hardiest lantana. Let us know if there’s ever anything else we can do for you. Plant long and prosper! – Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens
