Starcluster™ Light Pink Pentas

Starcluster™ Light Pink is an upright Pentas lanceolata selection with light pink flower color. Syngenta lists this Starcluster selection for late spring and summer, with garden plants about 18–22 inches tall and 22–24 inches wide in full sun. The series is described as heat loving and pollinator friendly, making these color forms useful for bright warm-season displays. ## Garden Use Use Starcluster™ Light Pink in sunny containers, patio pots, combinations, or landscape beds where its color can be enjoyed at eye level. Starcluster's upright habit makes it a visible accent among lower mounding annuals. The [Syngenta product page](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70089406) gives the exact selection, color, season, exposure, and mature-size information; it also lists USDA zones 10–11 in the series culture information. ## Growing Conditions Pentas does best in full sun and organically rich, well-drained soil. Water consistently after planting, then allow the soil to dry between waterings. North Carolina Extension describes Pentas lanceolata as a perennial in warm regions and commonly grown as an annual or houseplant in cooler areas. See the [species care profile](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/pentas-lanceolata/) for this broader guidance. ## Maintenance Check container soil during hot weather and water as it begins to dry. Keep roots out of persistently saturated soil. In cold-winter regions, treat pentas as a seasonal annual or protect it from frost.
