In your area, lantana should be making an appearance soon (since it has not already) to provide its wonderful show of blooms from spring to fall. Depending on the variety and type you planted, the time in which it emerges from the ground can vary. Since lantana is a tropical plant and even though it is considered a perennial in your growing zone, a colder than normal winter could cause it to not return. It would be best to give it more time to see if it will come back and save any decisions about pulling it from the ground until later in the spring when it will be clear if it will not come back.
