Strobilanthes ‘Brunetthy’

Description

Strobilanthes ‘Brunetthy’

Strobilanthes ‘Brunetthy’ is a mesmerising plant that commands attention in any garden or container. This stunning cultivar boasts large, velvety leaves that emerge a rich, burgundy-purple colour, eventually maturing to a deep, inky-black shade. The leaves have a striking, iridescent sheen that seems to shimmer and catch the light, creating a captivating visual effect.

The lush, tropical-looking foliage of ‘Brunetthy’ forms a dense, upright mound, growing to around 2-3 feet tall and wide. As the plant matures, small, pale lavender flowers may appear, adding a delicate contrast to the bold, dark leaves. However, it is the remarkable colouration and texture of the foliage that truly makes this Strobilanthes a standout.

Thriving in partial to full shade, ‘Brunetthy’ is an excellent choice for adding drama and depth to shaded garden beds or as a focal point in container plantings. Its mesmerising presence commands attention, making it a true living work of art in the landscape.

Hardiness is a little suspect so cover in the winter during cold spells.
