Orange shrimp plant | Justicia brandegeana

The Orange Shrimp Plant (Justicia brandegeana) is a delightful flowering shrub named for its arching, shrimp-like clusters of overlapping orange-bronze bracts that bloom almost year-round. A magnet for butterflies and hummingbirds, it brings continuous, exotic colour to warm gardens. Plant this hardy sapling in sun to partial shade in fertile, well-draining soil, water regularly, and trim occasionally to keep it bushy. Perfect for borders, pots and balconies, the shrimp plant is an easy, long-blooming and charming ornamental that flowers generously with minimal care.
