Lucky Star® Deep Pink Pentas

Lucky Star® Deep Pink is a named color selection of Pentas lanceolata in PanAmerican Seed’s upright Lucky Star® series. Its exact product page identifies the Deep Pink selection and code, and lists full sun, late spring and summer flowering, a mature height of 12–16 inches, and a spread of 12–14 inches. PanAmerican describes Lucky Star as compact and tidy, with fast follow-up flowering that maintains a consistent color show through the growing season. This selection suits sunny containers and beds where its deep pink flower clusters can be seen among green foliage. Its compact spread makes it useful in mixed planters or repeated as a small group along a sunny border. See the [PanAmerican Seed Deep Pink page](https://www.panamseed.com/products/048007736004082/pentas-lucky-star-deep-pink/) for selection-specific information and [Kew Plants of the World Online](https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/760275-1) for the accepted botanical species and family. ## Garden use Place it in a sunlit container, mixed planter, or warm-season border. Allow 12–14 inches of room for the plant to fill out while keeping the flower clusters visible. ## Growing conditions Grow in full sun with freely draining soil or potting mix. The series is described as heat tolerant and flowers from late spring into summer. ## Maintenance Remove damaged or faded stems when appearance calls for it. The series’ quick follow-up blooms help maintain color without frequent deadheading.
