HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

WHEN WE SHIP

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

Hard to get it going

A viewer from E Texas

The 4” plants WWF sells demand constant attention b/c this is a delicate plant in the beginning. Once it gets going you will have it forever. I’ve grown this plant for years. First time in Houston, I was fortunate to buy in quart size so getting it established was a non-event. But these little 4” plants are very delicate. I bought 4 this year and 1 has already died. This is my last attempt at growing here. But if you’re successful, it will be the most beautiful lantana you’ll ever grow. If this fails, I will grow/plant purple and white together hoping to get same effect that LS offers.

Disappointing performance

Joe from NJ from Southern NJ Zone 6.5

We have grown lantanas in pots for years, always purchased locally. The hummingbirds and butterflies love them. They are seemingly bulletproof and very robust. I put these 3 plants in the same large pot, using the same soil, and in the same (very sunny) place, but their performance has been disappointing. The plants are leggy, with few and rather small flower clusters. I have tried pinching them back to make them bushier, and have kept up with the weekly fish emulsion fertilizer, but with meager results. Perhaps others have had better luck with this cultivar but despite the unusual and pleasing colors I do not think I would purchase it again.

Poor performer

A viewer from Baton Rouge

This lantana's leaves have yellowed and partially fallen in autumn before any appreciable cold weather . The plants look sparse and spindly while the standard white and purple/ lavender trailing lantana remain green and lush. The plant bloomed adequately during the summer but in no aspect did it prove superior to its montevidensis counterparts. I would not purchase this plant again.

INCREDIBLE!!!

A viewer from Stockton, CA

Absolutely, hands-down, one of the most-beautiful plants we have in our garden! Stays in bloom for so long - perfect for full sun - everything they say it is... and then some. Just came back to purchase more and, as we figured, it's SOLD OUT. :( :(. Will keep our eyes open so we can purchase lots more! This one is a fabulous one!

Growing Lantana

Latin Name Pronunciation: lan-tan'-ah

This tropical genus has the agreeable habit of blooming abundantly and constantly day in, day out all summer long. Lantana plants thrive on neglect and like dry heat, making them ideal selections for pots, planters, and hanging baskets. In Zones where winter temperatures drop below freezing, Lantanas should be treated as single-season annuals.

Planting: Space plants about 12 to 18 inches apart to give them room to spread. If you’re planting in a container, ensure the container has adequate drainage holes.

Light: Full sun for at least six to eight hours per day is essential for the best flowering.

Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish roots. Once established, it is quite drought-tolerant.

Fertilizer: Fertilize in the spring to support vigorous growth and abundant flowering.

Soil: Easily grown in average, dry, well-drained soil. Will tolerate wide range of soil.

Pests/Diseases: Generally pest and disease-free.

Maintenance:  Regular pruning maintains the desired shape and size, and encourages denser growth and more flowers. Deadheading, or removing spent blooms, can also promote further blooming throughout the season.
