Field Notes
Description:
Irresistable for butterflies, the rich lavender-pink flowers of the Graffiti Lavender pentas is perfect for the hot summer. A bushy, compact, tropical perennial that is often grown as an annual, it has origins from plants native to northeastern Africa. Lacking frosts, it is evergreen and has dark green, lance-shaped leaves that contrast nicely with its large, vibrant clusters of small tubular, star-shaped flowers that are a light pink with a hint of lavender tones. These are everblooming but appreciate regular deadheading for the best continuing flower display.
Habitat:
Heat, humidity and drought tolerant once established, Egyptian starcluster needs full to part sun and fertile, well drained soil. It is a vigorous tender perennial that is ideal for sunny borders, butterfly gardens, hanging baskets and containers.
Notes:
Cant wait to see the butterflies on it!!! My baby daughter will be delighted!!
