When I first moved to Sarasota I remember it took some time to get use to what flowering plants would flourish in our summer heat.
Out of all the different plants I have tried and failed with, Pentas are on the top of my list for areas that get full sun all day. I like to to do mass plantings with Pentas so I have huge areas of color in my beds.
The front of my house gets sun all day. They are able to handle all day sun and our hot summer temperatures. I have grown them as perennials and I cut them back every spring and they grow back beautifully. They also attract butterflies and hummingbirds to your garden and are drought tolerant.
If you are dealing with a landscape area that gets all day Florida sun you can't go wrong planting Pentas!
