BeeBright Pink Pentas

BeeBright™ Pink is a compact, mounding Pentas lanceolata selection with pink to rose-colored flower clusters. Syngenta lists it as heat-loving and pollinator-friendly, flowering from mid-spring into summer. ## Garden Use At a listed 6–8 inches tall and 12–14 inches wide, this selection suits small containers, the front of a sunny border, and repeated group plantings. Its star-shaped flowers bring a clear pink accent while the compact habit keeps it in scale with low edging plants. Selection color, size, bloom timing, and habit are documented in the [Syngenta BeeBright Pink profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70041063). ## Growing Conditions Pentas generally grows best in well-drained, organically rich soil. Choose a sunny position for best flowering, allowing some partial shade where afternoon conditions are intense. Keep soil regularly moist without leaving roots in standing water. The [NC State Extension guide](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/pentas-lanceolata/common-name/egyptian-star-cluster/) describes these cultural preferences for the species. ## Maintenance Water containers as the surface begins to dry, and check beds during hot spells. Remove faded clusters when a neat appearance is desired. Grow it as a warm-season annual where winter cold prevents year-round outdoor growth.
