Pentas


Oh yeah, I am so loving this color combination...reminds me of the way people in India paint stuff...you know, with hot pinks, purple, red & orange all together? I am making a new butterfly bed in the middle of our modest orchard and I think this is it!

Pros: drought tolerant once established, all beneficial pollinators love them (including hummers), super low-maintenance, size easily managed, easy to propagate (so if you are thrifty, or are on a budget, this one's for you).

Cons: uh...none, I think.
