Penumbra is a partial outer shadow that is lighter than the darker inner shadow umbra (e.g. the area between complete darkness and complete light in an eclipse). It is a friâ¦nge section of half shadow resulting from the partial obstruction of light by an opaque object.
Penta (Pentas lanceolata) is an evergreen bush that, in warm climates, will light up the landscape all year with colorful star-shaped clusters. Hummingbirds and butterflies will often visit the penta blooms before they visit other flowering plants. Although penta can survive an occasional light frost, it won't tolerate a hard freeze. If you live in a cold climate, either grow penta as an annual or plant it in a container and bring it indoors for the winter.
