Notes

'Lucky Star Dark Red' Egyptian star flower (Pentas lanceolata 'Lucky Star Dark Red') is an annual for borders, pollinator gardens, containers, and annual beds. 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. Its dark red flowers draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees, and it grows fast into a dense, drought tolerant mound. Deer tend to pass it by.

Pairs well with Mexican bush sage, Hawaii dahlia, Polka dot plant, and Rain lily.
