Notes
'Graffiti Red Lace' Egyptian star flower (Pentas lanceolata 'Graffiti Red Lace') is an annual for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the red and white blooms of this dense, drought tolerant plant.
Pairs well with Impatiens, Mexican bush sage, Polka dot plant, and Boston fern.
