Hi, Rosie, yes, lantanas are great plants for us if they are hardy. A lot of the new hybrids aren't. We have one Lantana camorra, the pink and yellow one and we love it. The deer never touch it so it can be planted outside of the fenced areas. We grow quite a few daylilies and other plants that the deer love, so electric fencing was our answer to the problem. Now, we have a rabbits(s) who have decided the Asiatic lilies are good food--this is the first time this has ever happened, and the kniphofias are supposed to not be attractive to rabbits--hope that's true. We grow Ceratostigma plumbagoides--the hardy blue plumbago--as a ground cover on the south side of our walk for it seems to be able to take the heat. The problem here are moles, which get into everything and can and have killed some of our plants. Thank you for your input, always enjoy reading what other people are growing.
