The Pentas plant is a proven winner, giving homeowners a blast of color and great flowers to attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Pentas are also casually referred to as the “Egyptian Star Flower” due to the flower’s unique shape. This sun-loving annual is easy to grow and eager to bloom, setting large, tightly-packed flowerheads above the foliage. Expect it to reach 12 to 15 inches high in full flower, and to spread 10 to 14 inches wide in the garden. The Pentas prefers lots of sunlight and a well-drained soil that doesn’t stay soggy after heavy rainfall or irrigation.

These come in 18 count flats.
