I live in southern Michigan. I planted ten Luscious Royale Lemon Tart lantanas in a flower bed, about 18" apart, at the end of May. They were a bit slow to get going. By mid-July they had grown but had not yet filled out the bed; there was still space between them. Eventually they did fill in, ultimately getting two feet across. Their growth habit is evenly uniform in height, 14 to 16" tall. I personally prefer the somewhat irregular growth and uneven heights of regular lantanas, but aside from that, these were very nice. They bloomed prolifically and consistently throughout the entire season, their blooms a pleasant medium lemon yellow.
