More About Lantana ‘Lucky™ Flame’

Lantana ‘Lucky™ Flame’ delivers high-energy, flame-toned flower clusters blending red, orange, and yellow shades that shift as the blooms mature. The result is a vibrant, ever-changing display that thrives in full sun and summer heat.

As part of the Lucky™ series, this variety was bred for early flowering, strong branching, and controlled growth, offering bold color without excessive size.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Lucky™ Flame’ has been extremely reliable in full sun and high heat. It flowers continuously through drought conditions, maintains a tidy mounded habit, and requires minimal maintenance once established.

We especially appreciate its visual impact. The multicolor blooms stand out from a distance and make this variety ideal for focal containers, mass plantings, and pollinator gardens. Butterflies and bees are constant visitors.

Lantana ‘Lucky™ Flame’ vs. Other Lantana

Compared to solid-color Lucky™ varieties like ‘Lucky® Lavender,’ ‘Lucky™ Flame’ offers a more dynamic, multicolor display with shifting tones throughout the season.

When compared to Bandana® multicolor selections, this variety provides a slightly softer habit and earlier bloom timing, making it ideal for early-season color. For gardeners seeking a compact, heat-proof lantana with fiery, multicolor blooms, Lantana ‘Lucky™ Flame’ is an excellent choice.
