Justicia brandegeana

Red Shrimp Plant is a colorful tropical shrub valued for its arching stems and distinctive red, shrimp-like flower bracts that bloom nearly year-round in warm climates. Its soft green foliage creates a lush backdrop for the long-lasting blooms, which are highly attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. Thriving in partial shade to filtered sun with well-drained soil, this low-maintenance plant is ideal for borders, accent plantings, and Florida-friendly tropical gardens.
