They do in the North, where I garden. I'm not sure whether they freeze back or die back in warmer climates. Here in Iowa, I leave the old vines, though, for the new spring tendrils to climb up. ( They don't do well if you let them wander around on the ground; they get scraggly.) For clematis, remember, "cool feet, warm tops" and use lots of mulch at the roots.

Should you cut back lantana plants for the winter?

As it is frost prone it will need some protection prior to winter and may need restrictive pruning if under glass. However, trim or lightly cut back shoots that spoil the shape and cut back growth that have produced insignificant flowers. Cut annually from mid to late spring - or as and when necessary. Please note, may cause discomfort if ingested and foliage may irritate the skin
