Other Details | very beautiful shrub.it is very similar to pentas but it is a tall shrub up to 5 ft with bright-pink , star-shaped flowers in clusters.the flowers attract butterflies with nectar when little else is in bloom. The Panama rose has an added bonus for those who sit in the garden in the evening. The flowers are sweetly fragrant, especially after sunset.Grows easy and relatively fast, likes full sun but, part shade in hotter regions. Blooms all year in the tropics, summer and fall in colder areas.Imagine tall handsome shrubs covered with clusters of fragrant sweet pink flowers. Someone had likened its fragrance to that of green tea.so a nice shrub for small garden |
