Ah....you have some now! I took mine out of the finished baskets and potted it up in the greenhouse. You never know, it might grow a bit. It has hardly grown at all since it arrived. It didn't grow in spring in the greenhouse, and it didn't grow outside in the baskets. One of three plants flowered a bit, but all of them have curled up leaves and are just not thriving. If it doesn't pick up in a couple of weeks I think I'll have to admit defeat!

It sounds like it's a little bit difficult to grow there.
Lantana grows wild here. It's actually a weed here in San Diego and my neighborhood. It pops up in my potted plants and all over...I have to remove them before the roots get large.
I let two plants grow in the front yard. I just have to cut them back a lot because it can grow to more than 15' (4.6m) tall and spread even wider.

Wow Delonix...... that's amazing it is really tricky here, lucky to get it to 2ft!!

I wish they would only stay 2 ft here! LOL! There's giant shrubby ones all around here. The pink one is super invasive! The purple one (Lantana montevidensis) grows more of a ground cover or climber. The orange, pink and yellow are just everywhere.
Here's a pic of my larger one, I keep it at around 5 ft tall and it's about 8 ft wide:
