Little Lucky Lantana is our top pick for the southern regions and for small container production. We have exciting new propagation techniques to help you be successful from stick to finish!

North Region

The best treatment for the Little Lucky varieties in propagation was the Florel 300 ppm/ Configure 75 ppm treatment. We used two applications – the first as a spray 28 days after stick, and the second 1 week after transplant. We did not need additional PGRs in our trial because Little Lucky has a naturally compact habit.

South Region

The best treatment for the Little Lucky varieties in this region in propagation was the Florel 250 ppm/Configure 50 ppm treatment. We used two applications – the first as a spray 21 days after stick, and the second 3 weeks after transplant. We did not need additional PGRs in our trial because Little Lucky has a naturally compact habit.
