More About Lantana ‘Little Lucky™ Orange’

Lantana ‘Little Lucky™ Orange’ delivers bold orange flower clusters on one of the smallest lantana habits available. The vivid blooms hold their color exceptionally well in summer heat, providing high-impact color without excessive size.

This variety was bred specifically for tight spaces and container performance, offering the toughness of traditional lantana in a truly dwarf, controlled form.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Little Lucky™ Orange’ has been extremely reliable in full sun and high heat while maintaining a neat, rounded shape. It flowers continuously without deadheading and shows excellent drought tolerance once established.

We especially appreciate how well it performs where larger lantanas overwhelm the space. It’s ideal for small containers, window boxes, front-of-border plantings, and tidy landscape edges.

Lantana ‘Little Lucky™ Orange’ vs. Other Lantana

Compared to Bandana® series lantanas, ‘Little Lucky™ Orange’ offers a significantly smaller footprint, making it better suited for small-scale designs and compact containers.

When compared to landscape varieties like ‘Dallas Red,’ this selection is far more controlled and refined, sacrificing size for precision and ease of use. For gardeners seeking a heat-proof lantana with bright color in a truly compact form, Lantana ‘Little Lucky™ Orange’ is an excellent choice.
