Pentas lanceolata 'PAS1096468' ~ Lucky Star® Pink Star Flower

Lucky Star® Pink Pentas is a compact, well-branched annual valued for its vibrant bright pink star-shaped flowers and exceptionally long season of bloom. Dense clusters of small flowers cover the plant continuously from spring through fall, creating a bold display of color that attracts butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, and other pollinators. Its tight, uniform growth habit and dark green foliage provide a tidy backdrop for the abundant flower clusters, making it especially effective in borders, mass plantings, and containers. The Lucky Star series is selected for its compact, well-branched habit and reliable flowering performance. Lucky Star Pink performs and flowers best in full sun with consistently moist, well-drained soil, though it can tolerate part sun with reduced flowering. It has excellent heat tolerance and tolerates short periods of drought once established, but regular moisture produces the strongest growth and most continuous display of blooms.
