I have yellow lantana around an above ground pool. In the spring, it is beautiful and blooms abudantly. However, around mid June each year, the leaves start to turn a lighter shade and the blooms fall off. I've tried a pesticide spray, but with no luck. Any suggestions? I live in South Georgia, but the plant usually seems to take the heat well.

I'm guessing the culprit may be spider mites according to your description.You can use a spray specifically for mites or spray with soapy water.Often,a good blast from the hose every day will keep them under control.Most other lantana pests would cause different symptoms.Lynn
I just saw your other post.I never gave chlorine a thought.
