Pentas
LUCKY STAR® White Improved Pentas
Pure white, star-shaped flowers top the mounded green foliage in clusters throughout the warmer months of the year. This variety exhibits tighter, more compact growth and all of the flowers appear at the same height. Pentas are an insect pollinator and hummingbird magnet of the first order. Plant in full sun, moderately rich, well-drained soils and water whenever the foliage starts to wilt slightly.
