One flower they include is the Pentas plant. I love this flower because of its vivid red color and petal shape. It also attracts butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. (They produce nectar which the hummingbirds love.) I’ve grown pentas in container gardens in a space that gets full sun from the west and south. They thrive in the light and heat.
Here’s the profile they included in this post:
Beautiful pentas flowers attract pollinators like bees, hummingbirds, and sunbirds due to the nectar. Pentas is a tough heat tolerant plant that you can grow in containers. This tropical flower can be grown in USDA Zones 9-11 as perennial, below these zones grow it as an annual.
