Pentas is a gorgeous, shrubby annual that brings a sight of tropics to your home! The striking color contrast between the evergreen foliage and bright clusters of flowers and the oval, serrated leaves make for a sight to see. Pentas are heat and sun seeking, so thrive best in a tropical environment but can also grow quite well as a houseplant. They are not prone to diseases or insects, and they are sure to bring loads of hummingbirds and butterflies to your garden.
