BeeBright™ Violet is a compact Pentas lanceolata variety in Syngenta’s F1 BeeBright series. The exact variety profile lists upright plants flowering from mid-spring through summer, with a garden height of 15–20 cm and width of 25–30 cm. ## Growing conditions Grow pentas in a warm, sunny position and use well-drained, organically rich soil. Syngenta describes BeeBright as heat-loving and identifies the Violet color variety by product number 70070448; its series profile notes a free-flowering habit and pollinator appeal. The North Carolina Extension profile describes pentas as tropical plants with star-shaped flower clusters, grown outdoors as annuals in cooler climates and as perennials in warm regions.

The upright stems and violet flower clusters add color above the foliage. ## Maintenance Keep moisture even while plants are actively growing, allowing the soil to dry somewhat between waterings. Remove spent clusters to keep plants tidy and encourage fresh flowering; protect from cold where grown as a perennial.
