Lantana’s in pots
+7
Answered
I have Lantana’s in pots on my front patio. I keep them watered but they look dead. I’m going to try trimming them back An fertilizing in hopes it revives them. These plants are suppose to be hardy an require little care in Desert area where I live. They do fine An bloom except now An really hot summer months. What am I doing wrong?

Shirley Dudleyon Mar 11, 2018I don’t water that often. Once or twice a week. Would over watering make them look withered an dry?
