Maybe in your part of the country, Alan. Here in Zone 6a they are annuals
because they cannot survive our winters--don't they also get fairly woody
stems which would remove them from the category of what we usually consider
annuals?
Who defines "annual" anyway?

I have managed to winter over a lantana I got from PDN--Lantana camara 'Miss
Huff'. They list it as zone 7b with the caveat that it has survived some -3
degrees F temps. I live in zone 6b high desert of SW Idaho. We get very
little snow cover but with mulch it seems to manage okay.
It is perennial--given the right conditions, it lives happily for multiple
years. Annuals by definition live only 1 season no matter what the
conditions. Guess for you Bill it would be an ultra-tender perennial.
