    Plant it, then water slowly until the whole root ball is soaked.

  4. 4Next spring

    New growth starts. Feed as it wakes up.

Planting instructions
Choose a location in full sun with well-draining soil. Dig a hole about twice as wide as the root ball and the same depth as the container. Set the plant at the same level it was growing, backfill, and water thoroughly. Space plants about 3 feet apart. In containers, use a well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage holes.
Watering & sunlight
Water newly planted lantana when the top 1–2 inches of soil begin to dry, typically once or twice per week during the first few weeks and more often during hot, dry, or windy weather. Water deeply at the base so moisture reaches the whole root ball. Once established, Dallas Red Lantana is drought tolerant and usually needs water only during extended dry spells. Avoid soggy soil. Plants in containers dry out faster and need more frequent watering. There is no fixed watering schedule, so always check the soil first.

Dallas Red Lantana needs full sun, at least 6 hours of direct sun each day, to bloom heavily.
Care guide

PRUNING:
In early spring as new growth emerges, cut back dead or frost-damaged stems. Light trimming in summer keeps plants compact and blooming.

FERTILIZING:
Usually unnecessary in the ground; too much fertilizer can reduce flowering. Container plants benefit from a light slow-release fertilizer in spring. Avoid fertilizing for the first 2–3 months after delivery to allow the plant to adjust and establish.

WINTER PROTECTION:
In Zone 8, apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch over the roots in late fall to help them survive hard freezes.
