Pentas lanceolata – red
Common Name: Pentas
These are fabulous little plants that add lots of colour for many months of the year. They form nice neat round shrubs and thrive in full sun in my garden. They tend to look a little sad by the end of Winter so I give them a light trim back then. This one has deep red star shaped flowers with a lighter eye. Very attractive to butterflies.
