Pentas lanceolata Sunstar® Pink, also known as Egyptian Star Flower, is a lovely annual that features extra-large clusters of blush pink flowers on dark green foliage. These heat tolerant plants bring on the pollinators and bloom nonstop all summer without any deadheading. Great to use in containers and landscapes, but also can be used as a cut flower in shorter vessels. Pentas are best grown in good, moist soil, but it can tolerate poorer soils as well. They prefer a pH close to 7, so consider amending soil with pelletized lime if planting in an area with highly acidic soil. They are quite heat tolerant. An application of controlled release fertilizer at planting should be sufficient, but an additional application in mid-summer will help the plants thrive into Fall.
