Penta lanceolata ‘Ruby Glow’

Also called “Old-Fashioned Red Penta“ or “Ruby Glow Red Penta” this non-native but Florida-friendly, perennial, evergreen, small flowering shrub is the hardiest of the pentas for Florida gardens.

It is adaptable to sun and dry soils but does best in partial shade with average soils. Best planted in groups.
