| Growing Guide & Production Protocols | Lantana hybrida, part of the Verbenaceae family, is known for its compact or trailing habits and profuse, brightly colored flower umbels. This tender perennial/annual thrives in full sun, well-drained, average soil. With outstanding drought and heat tolerance, Lantana hybrida blooms non-stop throughout the summer, making it a favorite for hanging baskets, groundcovers, and sunny borders that need low-maintenance, continuous bright color. |
| Cultivation & Groweing guidelines | Remove from mist early to prevent stretching. Maintain warm temperatures at 72-75°F (22-24°C) during early stages, dropping to 65-68°F (18-20°C) to finish. pH 5.8-6.2, EC 0.9-1.2, feed 100-150 ppm N. Preventative broad-spectrum fungicide recommended at week 2. Pinch soft tips to promote branching; apply moderate PGRs as needed. |
