Jacobina

Scientific Name:
Justicia carnea

Jacobina thrives in rich, well-drained soil with partial shade to full sunlight and regular watering. It is known to attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, thereby promoting local biodiversity. Traditionally, it has been valued in folk medicine for its anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties. With its dense, dark green foliage and vibrant pink to crimson flower spikes, Jacobina is a popular choice for enhancing the aesthetics of gardens and landscapes.
