Justicia floribunda syn. Justicia rizzinii, Jacobinia pauciflora
Justicia floribunda (previously known as Justicia rizzinii and Jacobinia pauciflora) is a compact evergreen shrub that grows to 1.3m tall. It produces dark green coloured leaves and clusters of yellow and red flowers that appear in winter to early spring. Plant in full sun to partial shade, giving some protection from cold if temperatures drop below -5C.
Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Justicia should be grown in rich, evenly moist but well drained garden soil and planted where they will be in partial to full shade in the heat of the day. Extremes in water – wet or dry and very cool temperatures will cause loss of leaves. Intolerant of even a light frost, where not hardy grow in containers, greenhouse or as annuals.
