Luscious beauty

Pentas Lucky Star ‘Lipstick’ has been bred to re-bloom faster, so it seems to flower non-stop throughout summer. This compact plant (40cm tall and wide) grows best in full sun and thrives in heat and humidity.

When first planted, water once a week or more to avoid wilting; once established, watering can be reduced. Fertilise once a month with Vigorosa or a similar 5:1:5 fertiliser. The plant always looks tidy and the vibrant blooms attract bees, butterflies, and sunbirds. CONTACT ballstraathof.co.za.
