Justicia, Brazilian Plume Flower 'Huntington' (Justicia carnea)




Has been in a pot for 3 years, think it'll be better in the ground.

A beautful color of watermelon pink.

Blooms on each branch.

I have had this plant for 2-3 years. Here in MD, I have to take it in for the Winter.

This is the top of the plant. Taken 7/19/07
