How to take lantana cuttings – July is the ideal time to propagate this pretty flower, and grow more plants for free

Pink lantana flowers up close.

Learning how to take lantana cuttings in summer is one of the easiest ways to multiply your flowering plants (no extra spending required). Anytime in summer works well, when lantanas are producing plenty of fresh, green growth.

I’ve grown lantana on and off for years, most recently in pots on a sun-baked estate garden in Tuscany. They proved to be heat-resistant, and bloomed relentlessly through the hottest days. I’ve always been drawn to the two-tone varieties, like ‘Hot Blooded Red’ or ‘Landmark Citrus’. Sure, they’re a bit loud for some tastes, but in midsummer? I can’t think of anything better to inject a spot of color and joy into a border or pot.
