How to prune lantana

Hard prune early spring; deadhead and tip-trim continuously through growing season. In early spring, cut all stems back by half to two-thirds, removing woody older growth to leave a low, branched framework. During the growing season, snip off spent flower clusters to prevent fruiting and redirect energy to new blooms. Tip-pinch young shoots to increase branching.

Hard prune once annually; deadhead weekly during blooming season. Lantana blooms on new growth and needs regular pruning to stay compact and flower freely. Without it, plants become woody and bloom poorly. Deadhead spent flower heads continuously, tip-prune through the season, and cut back hard in early spring to renew the plant's framework and stimulate vigorous flowering shoots.
