I planted those last April and May. They looked great by year-end. I had to post a photo from December because they all froze back to the roots in January. The pentas are coming back and look good. I have been encouraging them with half-strength fertilizer. But only a few have flowers on them so far.

I had lots of butterflies last year and have seen a lot already this year.

I was lucky enough to pick up a tray of purple pentas from a discount rack. They looked pretty bad when I got them, but I was able to revive them enough so that every single one lived! See photo below.

I bet your white ones are beautiful. I love pentas (except for the nematodes).
