Description: Shrimp Plants work great in mixed perennial beds, borders, pots, or any other spot where you want a mass of continuous color. The bloom cycle is long, beginning in the early spring and lasting until early winter in warm climates. The long lasting flowers lend great interest, texture and make a nice potted accent plants for the porch, patio or poolside. They can be acclimated to grow indoors, however, supplemental light is often required for flowering. The red to pinkish-red and white tubular flowers emerge from between the spikes of chartreuse bracts from spring to fall to year-round under warm tropical conditiosn. The Fruit Cocktail Shrimp Plant, one the newest selections of Justicia brandegeeana, has a naturally more compact, better branching habit than the typical Red Shrimp Plant but in all other regards it is nearly identical. It is quite tolerant of light conditions ranging from full sun to light shade but may have the densest habit in sunnier conditions. The flowers attract hummingbirds, larger butterflies, and other pollinators. Caterpillar host: Cuban Crescent, Texan Crescent, White Peacock, and Malachite. Use Shrimp Plants to add color in containers, as a specimen plant or in mixed container gardens, as well as in the garden and landscape. Provide an average to well-drained, moderately fertile, average moist soil for optimum vigor and flowering.
