Nitaw-What am I doing wrong

I planted lantana over a month ago and it isn't growing... it is still alive but not thriving. I went cheap and bought the smallest lantana I could because I have 90' of hedge row. I did lantana 2 summers ago and it was awesome.

Do I just need to suck it up and spend $100 on more and bigger lantana plants?

Re: Nitaw-What am I doing wrong

  • Are you feeding the plants regularly?

    Plan old Miracle Grow will probably get them moving.

  • Ditto dirtyred. Give them a little boost of MiracleGro if you want to cheat a little! LOL

    Also, Lantana like the heat. Mine didn't really take off last year until Mid-June. We've had maybe a week of 90 degree weather, so it's not quite hot enough for them yet. 

    Don't spend money on a bigger plant. I promise you, once the TN heat gets to going, those things will be the envy of your neighbors. By August, my plants were pretty much shrubs.
