Pentas lanceolata
Considered to be the most uniform in habit as well as bloom time, Graffiti® comes
in several colors, pink, purple, bright red, rose and white and grows to 16 inches
high and 12 inches wide making it a great plant for containers or in a flower bed.
Graffiti® plants are very heat- and drought-resistant and make great cut-flowers.
With its tightly clustered flowers that sit above the foliage in bright colors that
have an abundance of nectar, Graffiti® pentas are a sure attractant for butterflies
and hummingbirds throughout the summer months.
Like all Pentas, Graffiti® prefers soil that is not too rich; if it's a bit on the
dry side, all the better. Heat, sun, and good drainage will have the plants blooming
heartily all summer long.
Exposure: Full sun to part shade
Soil: Moderately moist, well-drained soil
