Here's a very good article on lantana listing quite a few varieties. Here is a link that might be useful: Lantana

caeebe -- I don't know if you want to take my advice, since I apparently have been waiting and WAITING on mine to bloom already! LOL But, in the past, what I have done is... ...nothing. Absolutely nothing. Until about the end of July or early August. And, then, all I did was to shape them up a little (with shears or clippers or whatever you have available). Seemed to encourage more blooms, later into the fall, and kept them a little neater. They tend (usually) to just spread out all over.

Lantana camara is a declared weed in Australia. The pink or pink/red varieties are the ones that have spread most into pastureland and the seeds and leaves are regarded as toxic to stock. I've a purple and a yellow cultivar, the latter is lovely, a terrific flowerer in a rockery where I prune it back really hard a couple of times a year and it blooms for months. I've never found seed on it. the purple is more a trailer and suckers a bit. I actually like the smell of the leaves of those two, quite aromatic but that's the problem I guess for some. Even the sale of the cultivars is prohibited in Australia which is a bit of a pity if you are in suburbia and want a very drought-hardy plant. But I sympathise with people on the land for whom the weedy variety it is a constant and expensive struggle to eradicate, as it will resist slashing, burning, poisoning. Australia, in the wisdom (?) of its bio people, introduced a lantana bug, Aconophora compressa, some years ago. There weren't really enough bugs to do the lantana to death before the extreme heat of summer got to them, they preferred to hang around suburban gardens and feast on other verbenacea like native "Fiddlewood". Now the bugs are trying to be eradicated. Just a little bit of trivia
