Butterfly Red Pentas

This garden plant can be grown in both northern and southern garden beds and patio containers. This annual is also called ”Egyptian starflowers”. Pentas… are quickly becoming one of the most popular summer container and landscape plants

This is another plant I adore as they tolerant our Iowa heat and humidity.. and I love plants that bloom all summer.

I have these this year in 3 colors, white, red and pink. Red is probably most popular as you know how hard it is to get a red flower..and this is pretty true to red.

You can grow from seed and also starter plugs.. There are different cultivars of Pentas..

Pentas love the heat and do well in hot, humid conditions.
