Justicia brandegeeana ‘Yellow Queen’

Justicia brandegeeana ‘Yellow Queen’, commonly known as the yellow shrimp plant, is a vibrant, evergreen tropical shrub prized for its unusual and eye-catching blooms. It features arching yellow bracts resembling shrimp, with delicate white flowers peeking through, attracting pollinators. Blooming almost year-round in warm climates, it adds exotic charm to borders, containers, or conservatories. Its bright green foliage complements the vivid flower bracts, and it typically grows to around 60-90 cm tall. ‘Yellow Queen’ thrives in warm, humid conditions with well-drained soil and filtered sunlight. In cooler climates, it makes an excellent greenhouse or indoor plant with a tropical flair.
