AnswerDear Madaline,
Lantana and the other plants are hardy in growing zones 9-11. If you are on the fringe of zone 9 cut the lantana back in the ground and put about 6" of mulch on them before the weather is too cold.
The seeds of the Lantana are poisonous so I have never brought them inside-too many pets.
