Shrimp Plant
Shrimp Plant (Justicia brandegeeana) is a tropical shrub known for its unique, shrimp-shaped red and yellow bracts and dark green foliage. In North Florida landscapes, it is used as an accent, border, or pollinator-friendly plant, attracting hummingbirds and butterflies throughout its long bloom season.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun to partial sun
• Water: Moderate; keep soil evenly moist, especially during warm months
• Pruning: Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season
