HoneyCluster™ Pink Pentas

HoneyCluster™ Pink is an upright Pentas lanceolata with pink-to-rose flower umbels held above the foliage. Syngenta describes it as a vigorous, heat-loving selection for medium containers and garden beds, with a long warm-season flowering window. ## Flowers and uses This named color selection is Syngenta product 70038536. The official listing identifies it as an annual, gives a garden height of 35–40 cm and width of 35–45 cm, and lists flowering from mid-spring through summer. Its upright form and showy flower heads work well in containers or massed in a sunny bed. [Syngenta HoneyCluster Pink](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/apac/product/flower/70038536). ## Growing Choose a sunny site with well-drained soil. Pentas tolerate summer heat, but water regularly as new plants establish and during periods with little rainfall. University of Florida IFAS notes that pentas may grow as perennials in warm Florida sites but can die back after freezes; in colder climates, grow this selection for seasonal color.

Remove faded flower clusters when needed to refresh the display; allow enough space for the plant’s listed mature spread when planting in a bed.
