If you want colorful exuberance in summer, lantana are bright and heat-loving flowering plants for growing in borders or containers. You can get annual or perennial varieties and which you plant will affect how much you need to prune lantana.
There is not always a need to prune when growing lantana, as plants will happily grow and flower without much fuss. However, lantana can spread and get unruly. Pruning can control this and, in addition, plants will benefit from light trimming during their flowering period to keep them in top shape.
