Its blooms are atop its lovely mounding foliage that matures to 12-14” tall and about 24” 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!
