JUSTICIA PINK Brazilian Plume Jacobina Tropical Perennial Plant Flower Low Growing Shade Garden Starter Size 4 Inch Pot Emerald TM

Jacobinas or Brazilian Plumes are just one of several hundred species of Justicias. Justicia carnea is a low growing, shade loving perennial shrub that is a great choice for mixed perennial beds as filler or to bring color to shady nooks and corners. It has large pointed oval dark green foliage and low rounded growth habit; maturing at about 24 to 28 inches tall.

As the nights begin to warm, a large fountain like plume of bright, clear, medium pink long slender petal-like bracts curve outward from ends of the branches.

The bloom cycle is long; beginning in the early spring and lasting until early winter in tropical climates. They lend great interest, texture and color. Easy to grow, with lots of reward for little effort. They can be grown indefinitely as potted plants, and can be adapted to grow indoors with supplemental lighting. Great gift for a gardener of any skill level.
