Lucky Star® Mixture Pentas

Lucky Star® Mixture is an upright Egyptian star cluster mix that includes all of the colors in the Lucky Star series. PanAmerican Seed lists it for late spring and summer and gives a mature size of about 12–16 inches tall by 12–14 inches wide in sun. The series is described as compact, with closely timed follow-up blooms that keep the display colorful through the season. ## Garden Use Use this mixture in sunny containers, beds, or borders when a changing range of flower colors is wanted in one selection. The breeder notes its tidy habit and repeat flushes, which help maintain a consistent display. The [Lucky Star Mixture product page](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/048007736003332/pentas-lucky-star-mixture/) supplies the exact mix identity, included color range, mature size, bloom season, and sun exposure. ## Growing Conditions Pentas grows best in full sun and organically rich, well-drained soil. Water consistently after planting and let the soil dry between waterings. In cooler climates it is commonly grown as an annual or indoor plant; in warm regions it can grow as a perennial. The [North Carolina Extension profile](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/pentas-lanceolata/) provides species-level care guidance, not a USDA hardiness rating for this mixture. ## Maintenance Keep new plants watered as they establish, especially in containers during hot weather. Avoid saturated soil and protect plants from frost where winters are cold.
