Lantana overwinters well at 5C/40F - 10C/50F, water a little only when soil is completly dry. It looses its leaves, but that's normal. Can be pruned quite hard in spring.

I have over-wintered an hanging basket of bacopa before. It wasn't thrilled, but it made it. I'm probably telling you something you already know, but if you haven't over-wintered plants that have been outside before, watch out for the aphids.

I had a peace lily planted outside in a cute urn. It was on the porch with several window boxes of impatiens. I brought the peace lily in the house for winter. Within 2 months, I had volunteer impatiens coming up in the pot with the peace lily. They bloomed all that winter and for the next 2 winters, too. I just finally yanked them out of the pot this fall.
