Pentas

Pentas is a tropical mounded shrub prized for its dense clusters of star-shaped flowers in shades of red, pink, white, and lavender. Its lance-shaped, deep green foliage features prominent veining and a slightly hairy texture, providing a lush backdrop for continuous summer blooms. Thriving in high heat and humidity, it is a staple for pollinator gardens, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds. It excels in full sun and well-drained soil, working beautifully in containers or mass plantings.
