Starcluster™ White Pentas

Starcluster™ White is an upright Pentas lanceolata with white-to-cream flower clusters. Syngenta lists this full-sun selection at 18–22 inches tall and 22–24 inches wide, flowering in late spring and summer. The Starcluster series is described as a heat-loving choice with bold flowers and a strong upright habit. ## Planting and Use Plant Starcluster™ White in containers, patio pots, combination planters, or landscape beds. Allow for its listed width and choose a sunny site for flowering. Syngenta identifies the blooms as attractive to pollinators and notes that upright plants work well in summer combinations. ## Growing Conditions The exact cultivar page lists USDA hardiness zones 10–11. UF/IFAS describes Pentas lanceolata as growing in full sun or light shade in fertile, well-drained soil with regular moisture, and reports a broader species range of USDA 8B–11. Use the selection-specific zone listing when assessing winter survival; in colder places, grow it as warm-season color or protect it from frost.

Keep containers from standing in water and remove faded flower clusters for a tidy display. In climates outside the cultivar’s listed hardiness range, use it as a seasonal planting or overwinter it under protection.
