It is called pentas and it is red. That is all I know about this little plant. Except that it reminds me of old man’s ears. And I like it. Could just be me though. The ear thing not the like bit. I would imagine that a lot of people would love those carmine, starry, fur-filled flowers.

I have never thought of old men’s ears as being red and furry, but I will look later on today. Maybe he won’t notice.

I should have said the furry bits are white, or I would be very worried!

The scale of the photo threw me for a loop, really nice,! Oddly enough, heirloom Pentas are sold here and they are perennials where I live. Ears, really?

I daren’t have a close look at Mr TT’s ears in case he thinks I am classing him as ‘old’, the Penta flowers are beautiful. My Fuchsia hatschbachii now flowering and looking good.

A nice plant, nice size, nice shape, long flowering, butterfly magnet, nice range of colours. It has a lot going for it. Shame it’s a tender perennial and I’ve had to curb my enthusiasm to a degree which matches the available over-wintering space in the greenhouse (and the availability of ground space for over-summering containers).
