Shrimp plant

Scientific Name:

Justicia brandegeeana

The Shrimp Plant thrives in well-drained, loamy or sandy soil, with full sun to partial shade and moderate watering. It attracts pollinators such as hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies, supporting local ecosystems by offering nectar and providing habitat. Grown for its distinctive shrimp-like flowers in yellow, orange, or red, it is a popular ornamental shrub in gardens, hanging baskets, and containers.
