Butterfly™ Mixture Pentas

Butterfly™ Mixture is a mixed-color Pentas lanceolata selection in PanAmerican Seed's Butterfly™ Series. The upright plants carry large clusters of star-shaped flowers, bloom from late spring into late summer, and grow in full sun. [PanAmerican Seed](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/048000222003332/pentas-butterfly-mixture/) ## Plant profile The series is sized at 12–22 inches tall and 10–18 inches wide. PanAmerican Seed describes it as a mid-size group that performs in heat and humidity, tolerates summer rains, and attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. The product listing also identifies bee, butterfly, and hummingbird activity. This entry remains the named mixture; its selection identity is not collapsed into any single flower-color form. ## Garden use Use the mixture for seasonal color in sunny beds or planters where a varied display fits the planting. Its upright stems and clustered blooms provide structure through warm-weather months. ## Maintenance Water plants while they establish and during extended dry weather. Remove faded clusters as desired to maintain a tidy display. PanAmerican Seed is owned by Ball Horticultural Company and is identified by Ball as a breeder and seed producer.
