One reason the Lantana isn't blooming much might be because it's in a pot. Lantana has a massive root system, and is much better suited to being put in-ground. I know it doesn't need much water when it's planted, but might require a bit more when in a pot. But I've never grown lantana in a pot, so I could be completely wrong.

I agree with Staci about the Mexican Mint Marigold and Copper Canyon Daisy. Both can take the heat and less watering. Remember that they're both late bloomers, and don't really "strut their stuff" until later in the fall. It's worth the wait, though.
