Yes, Lantana does get woody stems here. Really lots of exciting new colors coming out. There are several pink/yellow blends out now that I really like. I've also always liked the Dallas Red version.

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.
