Interesting Notes

Stays in color; Really!
Lucky Star is bred for the fastest follow-up blooming of any pentas on the market.

Nonstop color means plants look better getting off the truck and they just keep getting better in the store! Plus, this color-rich series has a tight, compact habit that keeps them looking tidy with virtually no effort. The promise of continuous, showstopping color on full, lush plants; now that’s a huge plus!

Plug crop time: 6 to 7 weeks
Transplant to finish: 7 to 8 weeks

With the fastest follow-up blooming of any pentas on the market and a 1-week bloom window, Lucky Star maintains a consistent show of color from retail through end-of-season.
Follow-up blooms do not eclipse the prior flush, so plants stay compact, tight and ready for sale at retail with minimal work.

Faster secondary, follow-up blooming and a darker color intensity than other violet pentas on the market.
