Notes
'Starcluster Pink' Egyptian star flower (Pentas lanceolata 'Starcluster Pink') is an annual for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It sits low on the menu for deer. Pink flowers open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn, and they draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.
Pairs well with Vinca, Impatiens, and Hawaii dahlia.
