This is my first year to try to winter over lantana. I brought in two in the fall before our first frost and have been growing them as houseplants more or less. They both dropped all their leaves and looked dead for awhile after I brought them in. Now they've leafed out again and look alive but not great. I have them in my walkout basement near a south window. It's a little cooler in my basement than the rest of the house. There's a balcony above the south window that shades it so they're not getting as much light as you would think. I'm letting the soil get pretty dry between waterings. It's still just January so it's too soon to say if that's a good method.
I never have good luck wintering stuff over in my garage. It's on the north side of my house and gets below freezing. Also has a big west window so it gets too hot at times.
