Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Pentas grow fairly slowly and in temperate climates, are usually planted as container or annual bedding plants. If growing outdoors, they will need winter protection and will die back once the temperature falls to 10C. They can then be dug up and planted into a conatainer for over-wintering. Site them in full sun and in moist but well drained soil, enriched with quality compost or manure. In containers, any good quality multi-purpose compoist will surfice but they must be kept moist and be sited where they will get plenty of sun.
