I have 12 New Gold plants in hanging basket.
Added Polymere chrystals to aid in holding water in soil for a longer period. I give plants a deep soak once weekly, if no rain. Trailing habit cascades over my containers and makes a very nice, full plant.
New Gold is a TEXAS SUPERSTAR which means it has survived rugged tests to produce the best lantana possible.
I'm in Zone 8b where it is hot, dry and very humid most of my summer. This New Gold is my champion.

Perfect low maintenance flower for West Texas heat and drought conditions. This is the only variation of Lantana that I have grown that reappears late spring.
This plant loves a hot dry full sun location. I put one by the mailbox several years ago. It has concrete on two sides, (curb and sidewalk). It grows best over the curb and into the street. I have to trim it back several time each summer. It blooms constantly. It is very easy to root. When ever I trim it back, I stick a few stems in a spare pot and once its rooted, pass it along to a neighbor or family member.

This Lantana blooms prolifically and does not seed. It grows so fast I have to prune it! It does best in full sun (the hotter the better) and I very seldom water it. It is a super xeriscape plant. I agree with Kaufmann about its dense foliage and blooms. I have four other types of Lantana, and 'New Gold' performs better than any of the others. The next best variety is the lower growing purple one.

Bulverde, Texas: this plant grows rapidly (4" pot planted in May to 4'X 4'in August). Blooms non-stop from April until killing frost. In my opionion, a fuller, denser plant with more blooms than the other Lantanas. Root hardy in this area -- Zone 8. Somewhat deer resistant, although as we all know if they are hungry enough, they'll eat anything!
