Pentas ‘Ruby Glow’ (Pentas lanceolata)

Prolific clusters of red, star-shaped blossoms flower from spring until frost when grown in an outdoor container or garden bed. ‘Ruby Glow’ is an older variety that is rich in nectar unlike the newer hybridized varieties. The flowers are well known for their ability to attract butterflies. Logee’s supplies the plants for the Boston Museum of Science’s Butterfly Conservatory. If grown inside, ‘Ruby Glow’ will flower year-round when grown in full sun with attention to watering. ‘Ruby Glow’ is the perfect plant to attract butterflies to your summer garden.
