Description

Little Lucky Red is a member of the Little Lucky Series of Lantana. As you might have guessed by the name, these are noted for their smaller size (10-12 inches tall and wide). So, if you love Lantana, but haven’t had the room to grow one, now you do – excellent in garden beds or pots!

Little Lucky Red may be small in size, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in flower power. The compact, mounding plants are covered in a mixture of red, orange and yellow flowers, and they start blooming 3 weeks earlier in the season than other varieties. They don’t set nearly as many seeds/berries as their larger cousins, which explains why they have more energy to produce more flowers. The flowers continue coming in abundance from late spring through fall to draw in the butterflies and hummingbirds who will thank you for planting this lantana!

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing in a low mound 12 inches tall and wide, Little Lucky Red is ideal for use in smaller garden spaces, as a low border in landscape beds, in annual flower garden beds, and as a solo or mixed with other sun-loving plants in combination container gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 10 inches apart for mass plantings; 24 inches apart for space between plants

How Many Plants Needed To Cover A Planting Area?

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 10, where this Lantana variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

Lantana are exceptionally easy to grow in most any moist but well drained soil of average fertility and full to mostly sun. We suggest at least 6 hours of direct sunlight for best flowering. When growing in a container make sure to use a container with a hole(s) at the bottom and a quality potting soil or potting mix, or a 50/50 mix thereof. Maintenance is minimal. You can deadhead or shear the plant after the first flush of flowers and that’s about it until you cut it back the next spring.
