Golden plume flower is a giant relative of the shrimp plant, family Acanthaceae. This species, Justicia aurea, is very similar to the Brazilian plume flower, and has similar requirements. It produces spikes of brilliant yellow flowers against glossy, dark green foliage in the summer and early fall. It grows easily into a mound 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide or even larger after several years, with pruning once a year after blooming is finished. It makes quite a spectacular specimen plant for a special spot in the tropical garden. It likes rich organic soil, half shade or filtered sun, and abundant water. It is fully winter hardy in zones 9-11.

Small plants are starter plants between 5 and 15 inches tall or long in pots that are 2.5" square x 3.5" deep. Large plants generally have more than one growing shoot or branch, and are between 15 and 22 inches tall or long in pots that are 3.5" square x 5" deep. Please rely on this description, rather than the photos, to determine what size plant you will receive.

All photographs used in our listings are our own, taken at our nursery or in the gardens where the parent plants are grown. This is so our customers know what they are getting, and can be sure that the plants perform as advertised. Permission is NOT granted to use our photographs for any commercial purposes.

PLEASE READ OUR RETURN/REFUND POLICY BEFORE MAKING A PURCHASE: We are not able to offer a 14 day return policy for plants as we do for seeds and merchandise. We ship plants in excellent condition, Priority Mail, and we immobilize them in the box with packing peanuts. If, despite our best efforts, the plant arrives dead or broken due to some negligence on our part, we will refund the purchase price or send you a replacement. You must notify us of the problem within 3 days of delivery, and send substantiating digital photos. Once you have had the plant for longer than 3 days, its condition is no longer our responsibility.

Thank you for your purchase, and happy gardening!
