Can lantanas be grown from seed?

    I want to know too! I have a ton of seed from last years plant that I let go right into the ground hoping they would come up this year. I also saved some to plant now. I have a bunch of seedlings coming up where the old plant was.....but they could just be weeds for all I know. Anyone know what the seedlings look like?

    The Lantans do better by cuttings. You can plant the seeds, but from what I've heard it takes forever and most folk (including me) think they are not going to sprout and throw them out.

    I've done several cutting and had great luck. I also go after the new growth, this seems to root much faster. Be sure and use a root stimulator for added success.

    Good luck

    They will eventually come up but they take forever as the previous poster said...If you have seed my suggestion would be to just plant them in some out of the way area so you can transplant them later and not have to look at bear dirt for months on end.
