Pentas (Pentas lanceolata), commonly known as Egyptian Starcluster, is a heat-loving, sun-loving perennial prized for its clusters of star-shaped flowers in shades of red, pink, lavender, and white. A magnet for butterflies, hummingbirds, and pollinators, Pentas brings continuous color to garden beds, borders, and containers throughout the warm season. Its lush green foliage and upright growth habit make it a favorite in both formal and casual landscapes.
