Sunstar® Red Egyptian Star Flower (Pentas)

(Pentas) Brilliant red flower clusters bring bold summer color to Sunstar® Red II Pentas. Each rounded cluster contains dozens of small, star-shaped flowers held above lush green foliage. The bright blooms create a strong splash of color that keeps sunny containers and garden beds looking lively throughout the season.

Growing 18-22 inches tall and spreading 16-24 inches wide, this Pentas develops a dense, upright, mounded habit. Its substantial size makes it an excellent thriller for patio containers and mixed combinations. In the landscape, use it in borders, mass plantings, or anywhere you want dependable summer color.

Sunstar® Red II Pentas thrives in full sun and loves warm weather. High heat and humidity do not slow down its impressive flower production. The nectar-rich blooms are especially attractive to butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, making this annual a great addition to pollinator gardens.

Plant Pentas in well-drained soil and provide consistent moisture while plants become established. Once growing actively, it can tolerate brief periods of drier conditions. Container-grown plants benefit from regular feeding to support vigorous growth and continuous flowering. Deadheading is not necessary for continued bloom production.
