Out of Stock

Quantity in Basket: None

Family: Acanthaceae

Deep green leaves with large creamy white blotches in the center. This cultivar does not seem to have a varietal name, as it may be the original type from the South Pacific for which the species is named. This evergreen tropical shrub grows up to 6 feet high, but can be kept to 3 feet as a greenhouse plant. Flowers are tubular, reddish-purple. Best with bright light and moist soil. Use in tropical landscape beds or in mixed containers. Heat and humidity tolerant. Minimum winter temperature of 40F.
