How to grow Lantana 'Pure Gold'

  • Full Sun

  • Low

Remove faded flowers to encourage further buds

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Pure Gold is generally regarded as a half hardy plant, so it will require protection in frosts and low temperatures.

Growing Pure Gold from seed

Can be grown from seed and is invasive under some conditions but away from its natural habitat the seed s can sometimes be slow, and it is easier to take stem cuttings

For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 20°C / 68°F.

Transplanting Pure Gold

Plant out in a sunny spot in well drained conditions at the front of the border or to line a path. Great also in pots and tubs

Pure Gold is half hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside - as a guideline, the minimum temperature outside should be approximately 10°C / 50°F.
