You use a clipping free of leaves dipped in a hormone rooting medium and insert them in a moist, well drained soil.

It really depends on what type of lantana it is. If it's a native type, it will grow from seed. If not, it grows very easily from cuttings, but depending on where you live, you may not be able to take cuttings until spring without a special setup. The outside temperature needs to get no lower than 70 degrees for lantana to root.

To root cuttings of lantana, take a piece about 3-4 inches long, and strip off all but the top inch of leaves. Also remove any blooms or berries on the cutting, as these will make it put energy into those, not into rooting. You don't really need rooting hormone for them, but you can use it if you want.

Stick the cuttings two inches deep into a 50/50 mixture of peat moss and perlite. To keep from having to disturb the roots when planting, you can plant them in peat pots, or use toilet paper rolls as peat pots. Keep damp, but not moist. Resist the temptation to keep tugging on the cuttings to see if they have rooted. When you see new growth, you will know they have rooted. You can then plant them directly into the pot or into the ground where you want them to grow.

Once in the ground, water every other day for two weeks, then twice a week for two weeks, then once a week until they are fully established and growing well. Lantana do not usually need supplemental watering once they are established.
