My lantanas come back every year and I don't do anything but cut off the stems when they die. I am just a couple of zones away, so I would suggest you might cut the lantana back so that it will fit under a pot and just cover them where they are planted for the winter? I think it might work and would be less work for you. Here is one of mine that is about 4 years old. I cut it down to about 4 inches when it gets brown. We do get freeze, but I think the fact that all my lantanas are against walls or near rocks, keep them just warm enough.
