4. LANTANA 'SHAMROCK PEACH IMPROVED'
Ball FloraPlant
The breeding, development, testing and marketing
of lantana from Ball FloraPlant has been progressive
and significant since the introduction of the Lucky
and Landmark series in 2003, followed by the Little
Lucky series in 2013, the Bloomify series in 2018 and
the Shamrock series in 2022. The Shamrock series
offers five varieties, including the new Butterscotch
Glow and the improved Peach for 2023. In trials in
2021 and in production programs this spring, this
series demonstrated outstanding versatility in quarts,
mixed containers and hanging baskets. This series
has more vigor than the Little Lucky series and a
more mounded, symmetrical habit than the Lucky
series. What is distinctive is the uniformity, dark
foliage, upright habit, large umbels and the prolific
flower canopy. The accompanying photograph of the
colorful Peach Improved was taken at the Costa trial
in late April.
5. LANTANA 'HEARTLAND ORANGE'
Dümmen Orange
Dümmen Orange introduced the Heartland series
last year with a wide range of colors that included
Neon, Citrus, Red, Really Red, Sunrise, Sunset and
White. Blue Moon and Orange have been added for
2023. Many of the current varieties, as well as the
new introductions, were entered in multiple trials this
year. What differentiates this series from the Havanas
is the increased vigor, which was manifested in trials
the past two years and in production programs this
spring. Additional attributes include large umbels, low
seed set, unique vibrant colors, uniformity and glossy
foliage. The accompanying photograph of Heartland
Orange is from the Young's Plant trial in Alabama.
6. LANTANA 'SUNDANCE PINK'
Sakata
Sakata entered the lantana market with the
Sundance series in 2021 with three introductions:
Red, White and Yellow. This was followed up with
the new 'Sundance Pink' for 2023. The series was in
multiple summer trials in 2021 and in multiple trials
this spring and summer. This is an early flowering,
uniform series with a semi-mounded habit. I was
impressed by the new Pink, which is a distinctive and
unique color in lantana. The series was trialed and
tested as a component with Sakata SunPatiens and
Petchoa SuperCals in container trials this summer
