Pentas lanceolata Graffiti 'Mix'
Star Cluster
The dense upright growth habit and colorful blooms makes this a great choice for landscape, baskets and containers! Its blooms are atop its lovely mounding foliage that matures to 6-12" tall and about 12-32" wide. It blooms all through early Summer and Fall. The Penta is desired most for its ever-blooming blossoms, heat tolerance, low maintenance and mounding growth habit for landscape, beds, baskets and containers. This is a great annual for early Spring, Summer and Fall.

Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips
The Penta prefers sun but can handle some shade and grow best in moist, well drained soil. The Penta is an ever-blooming producer, but does appreciate being deadheaded to increase the blooms. Please remember, this pretty may need a little extra TLC and more consistent watering when in a container!
