You really shouldn't plant lantana until after the last frost when the weather gets warmer because they require warm weather.

The last month that you can plant lantana and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your lantana may not have a chance to fully mature. If you are starting your lantana indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a few weeks earlier.
