Usama as per my knowledge and observation that this blue-purplish color of lantena that u are trying to train as standard is the only lantana variety that is hanging/ground creeper type. In 5 colors availble in Pakistan

Thanks sir. I was not aware of that. But as per this experiment this variety has responded well to standard training. I will share pictures soon.

I regret to inform that this particular lantana standard has mysteriously died. I am away from home these days and only visit twice a year. I got informed before the start of winter it shed all its leaves and the stem died. Has anyone else experiences such a loss? What could be the potential culprits?
