A very easy to grow plant with eye-popping big bright flowers! These Justicia like bright shade to part sun- which makes them a great choice to brighten up shady ares of your garden, as they will produce huge blooms that you can spot across the landscape. Even the leaves themselves are quite attractive- deep dark green and lush.
Yellow Plume and Orange Flame like humidity and rich, moist organic soil. Cut way back in late winter to produce a bushy plant with fresh deep green leaves. Take the excess cuttings and plunge into the soil to expand your clump.
Cold hardy to the 20′s – severe colds may cause defoliation, just cut back after winter and it will regrow. This plant is one of my personal favorites.
