Grower Information:

Stays in colour…Really!
Lucky Star is bred for the fastest follow-up blooming of any full-colour series pentas on the market. Nonstop colour means plants look better getting off the truck and they just keep getting better in the store! Plus, this colour-rich series has a tight, compact habit that keeps them looking tidy with virtually no effort.

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

  • With the fastest follow-up blooming of any full-colour series pentas on the market and a 1-week bloom window, Lucky Star maintains a consistent show of colour 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 colour intensity than other violet pentas on the market.
