'Butterfly Deep Rose' Egyptian star flower (Pentas lanceolata 'Butterfly Deep Rose') is an annual for borders, pollinator gardens, and hedges. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It sits low on the menu for deer. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms, and the dense plants tolerate drought.
