Enjoy three dazzling plants with the Star Bright Mix Pentas. This mix includes the Pentas lanceolata Lucky Star 'Pink’, 'Red’, and 'Lavender' in one container. The colorful star-shaped flowers bloom from late spring through mid-fall. Pentas plants have a compact growth habit, with the flowers blooming in tight clusters. Broad, dark green foliage contrasts the bright blooms and anchors the plant.

Feature the Star Bright Mix Pentas plants in beds, borders, or containers where they work as a thriller. Line a walkway or create a bright and colorful mass planting. Plant these beauties near the front or middle of a mixed bed so the flowers are visible. The charming flowers attract and support pollinators for added wildlife value.

Star Bright Mix Pentas Care

Plant the Star Bright Mix Pentas in full sun and water it when the soil is dry. Provide a fertile, moist soil that promotes drainage and has an alkaline pH. Use a balanced fertilizer monthly to encourage continuous blooming.

Prune Pentas as needed to remove leggy stems. Trimming overgrowth encourages a full, bushy form. A rejuvenating trim around mid-summer will give the plant a fresh start and promote more flowers.

Star Bright Mix Pentas Spacing

The Star Bright Mix Pentas plants stand 16 inches tall and 14 inches wide. Space plants 14 inches apart to create a continuous planting. Plant this mix in a 12-inch pot.
