Better Than Miss Huff

My Son Sonset Lantana plants from GrowJoy are getting very, very big. I purchased some two years ago and they are huge. I'm talking like 8' wide by 4' tall. The ones I purchased from GrowJoy last spring are almost as big. They bloom profusely from late spring until frost and are even slightly frost tolerant. We had a frost last night and these Son Sonset Lantanas are still blooming like there's no tomorrow. I'm glad that I was able to find these Lantanas from GrowJoy at a very reasonable price. My heart was set on Miss Huff Lantanas a couple of years ago, but the Sonset Lantanas have stolen my heart. Thanks again GrowJoy for offering great plants at a very affordable price.

average

Pretty good plant with average color changes for a Lantana. The Cherry Bandana is by far the best.

Beautiful Son Sonset Lantana Plant

Good size plants grew quickly and spread three feet. Not aggressive and seems to be sterile. Blooming machine!

Amazing Lantana!

My plants arrived in great health(unlike many online plants I have ordered elsewhere.) I planted my tiny Lantana in March. It is now August and the plants have grown to at least 4x4. Blooms everywhere! I ordered 4 plants. I kept 2 and gave 2 to my parents. They have other Lantana they planted LAST spring that still are WAY smaller than this Son Sonset Lantana. I will definitely order from here again. Thanks!

Lantana Plant Review

We received the Son Sonset Lantana plants in a timely manner. They were a bit smaller than we expected and were somewhat wilted from this recent heat during shipping. After planting them (In temp pots) to allow better rooting they seem to be doing well. I expect to plant them in the ground in the next couple of weeks. We would recommend your company and product to others.
