Pentas Lanceolata
Egyptian Star Clusters, formally called Pentas Lanceolata, is an evergreen perennial subshrub. While it only reaches heights of about 2 feet in gardens, in the wild it can grow up to 6 feet tall. Native to East Africa, the plant thrives in direct sunlight, mildly acidic soil, and regular irrigation. With dark green foliage and bright, star-shaped blossoms in hues of red, pink, lavender, and white, the pentas plant is a great choice for any garden and is a popular attraction with pollinators like butterflies.
