More About Lantana ‘Lucky® Lavender’

Lantana ‘Lucky® Lavender’ produces soft lavender to light purple flower clusters that add a cooler, calming tone to full-sun plantings. The blooms maintain their color well in heat and provide a refined alternative to brighter reds, yellows, and oranges.

As part of the Lucky® series, this variety was bred for compact size, strong branching, and early flowering, delivering dependable performance without excessive growth.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Lucky® Lavender’ has shown excellent reliability in full sun and high heat. It flowers continuously, maintains a tidy mounded shape, and handles drought with minimal supplemental water once established.

We especially appreciate its color versatility. The lavender tones pair beautifully with yellows, whites, silvers, blues, and ornamental grasses, and it consistently attracts butterflies and bees throughout the season.

Lantana ‘Lucky® Lavender’ vs. Other Lantana

Compared to the Bandana® series, ‘Lucky® Lavender’ offers a slightly softer habit and earlier bloom timing, making it ideal for early-season containers and mixed beds.

When compared to Little Lucky™ varieties, this selection provides a slightly larger footprint, offering more visual presence while remaining well controlled. For gardeners seeking a compact, heat-proof lantana with a softer purple palette, Lantana ‘Lucky® Lavender’ is an excellent choice.
