My favorite Pentas have been in bloom since the day I put them in over a year ago. You cant beat that. They are about 3 ft tall nowand 4-5 ft wide with the two of them planted about 18 inches from each other. I dont know why more people dont plant them. They take full sun or partial shade and bloom there but off all year. If you have a hard frost they get bit back some but recover quickly in the spring and last for years without needing to replant. Anyway, this is a variegated strain of the classic garden Penta, the old fashion one that grows tall does MUCH better long term in the garden than newer shorter hybrids, and Ive been told by the butterfly garden in Gainsville that they have alot of nectar in them but the newer hybrids do not. Whats not to love?
