Red Shrimp Plant
Red Shrimp Plant
Justicia brandegeana
Native to Mexico, this wonderful hummingbird attractor forms a 3 mound of soft, apple-green leaves & produces 3-4 spikes of overlapping plum-red bracts with bright red & cream flowers. These spikes eventually lengthen to 6-7 & resemble large red shrimp. Responds well to pruning, is root hardy, grows in sun or light shade, & a moist, well drained soil. Hummingbirds!
