💡 Care Tip: Unpack your bare-root Lantana plants promptly after arrival and inspect the roots before planting. If they appear dry or shriveled, soak them in room-temperature water for about 30 minutes to 2 hours, then allow excess surface moisture to dry before potting. Plant in a well-draining mix and gradually acclimate the plants to full sun over several days. Some temporary wilting or leaf drop can occur after shipping, so give the plants time to establish before expecting vigorous new growth.
