Justicia
carnea * Brazilian Plume Plant |
| The first time I saw this plant I couldn't believe
where it was growing. It was on the North side of a house where the temperatures
regularly got into the mid teens. And it was not being watered. To have a
plant that puts on color like this with no care and with looks this tropical make this a
great plant for our area. It is on my very short list. It will have trouble if
it gets too much water or tries to exist on clay soils in an irrigated yard.
The Huntington form is more compact and has purple on the undersides of
the leaves and on the flower bracts.
