Do lantana survive freeze?
But I think it would not do so well in San Antonia or further north. I am not a gardener so, this is more of a comment than an answer. The experts say: Although the summers here in the South are rather unbearable, there are definitely advantages to the mild winters. One is that we can grow flowers like common lantanas (Lantana camara) and they are perennial because they won’t freeze out completely. Some varieties die back to the ground with even a light frost but others seem to weather short freezes if they are protected, thereby starting the new season a bit more advanced. This past winter we had lantanas blooming all winter. Lantanas have small bouquets of blossoms that often change color as each individual flower opens then ages. Color combinations include white and purple, yellow and pink, yellow and orange, and pink and magenta. There are also some that are all one color such as the yellow and the white varieties. Sources:
