SRS (and anyone else) This past summer I had some lantana growing in big pots and they seemed really drought tolerant. I'm on the hunt for drought tolerant--or even drought-loving flowering plants for mid through late summer or even into fall. I prefer perennials or self-sowing annuals, but don't mind starting annuals indoors from seed if that will get me the blooms.

Do you find the lantana to be really able to handle drought? What about drought with high humidity? Many plants of the Southwest don't tolerate our humidity, heavy soil, and often soggy winters very well.

Have you ever done mass plantings of lantana?
