Notes
'Butterfly White' Egyptian star flower (Pentas lanceolata 'Butterfly White') is an annual for borders, pollinator gardens, and hedges. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows fast into a dense mound, tolerates drought, and draws butterflies and bees. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Impatiens, Hamari Gold dahlia, and Graham Thomas rose.
