Pentas are one of the best butterfly-attracting plants around. It blooms all summer long, even during the hottest weather, with large clusters of starry blooms that attract hummingbirds, as well as butterflies by the dozens. The plant grows well in containers and in the ground. It can even make a good houseplant if you have enough light. It does best in full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Pentas are grown as an annual in most parts of the country. Plant them outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.
