BeeBright™ Red Imp. Pentas

BeeBright™ Red Imp. is a compact, mounding Pentas lanceolata selection with red flower clusters. Syngenta lists it as heat-loving and pollinator-friendly and gives a flowering period from mid-spring through summer. ## Garden Use The listed garden size is 6–8 inches high by 12–14 inches wide, fitting small containers, low borders, and close groupings for seasonal color. Its star-shaped blooms and compact, branching habit suit the front of a planting where repeated color is useful. See the [Syngenta BeeBright Red Imp. profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70107318) for exact selection identity, color, size, and flowering information. ## Growing Conditions Pentas generally prefers well-drained, organically rich soil. Grow in sun for stronger flowering, with some partial shade tolerated. Maintain regular moisture while ensuring excess water drains away. The [NC State Extension Pentas guide](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/pentas-lanceolata/common-name/egyptian-star-cluster/) gives this broader species-level guidance. ## Maintenance Check soil moisture frequently in containers during warm weather, and water when the soil begins to dry. Remove spent clusters as desired for a tidy appearance. Grow it as a warm-season annual where winter temperatures are too cold for outdoor survival.
