Pentas Starcluster Color 6.5"

Penta Starcluster is a stunning, tropical plant known for its clusters of star-shaped flowers that bloom in vibrant shades of pink, red, lavender, and white. These long-lasting flowers attract pollinators such as butterflies and hummingbirds, making it a favorite for butterfly gardens.

In southern Louisiana, Starcluster typically grows to a height of 18 to 24 inches with a similar spread. It thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring at least 6 hours of sunlight for optimal flowering. While it can tolerate heat well, it is sensitive to frost and cold temperatures. In USDA hardiness zones 9-11, including southern Louisiana, it can be grown as a perennial. However, during the colder months, if temperatures drop below 40°F, it's best to protect the plant or treat it as an annual.
