Justicia brandegeeana aka Shrimp Plant

Justicia brandegeeana, more commonly known as Mexican shrimp plant, shrimp plant or false hop, is an attractive evergreen shrub native to Mexico and naturalized in Florida. It grows to 1 m tall (rarely more) with spindly limbs, and oval, green, 3–7.5 cm long leaves. Showy white flowers, extending from red bracts, give off the appearance of shrimp (hence the common name) and can grow from few inches to nearly a foot in length. With more sun exposure, the bracts range in colour from pale pink to deep salmon and the speckled leaves will become bright with creamy white. It is a relatively rare houseplant that is easy to grow and needs regular watering to thrive and should be less than 3 feet from a window. The specific epithet is named for the American botanist Townshend Stith Brandegee (1843–1925) and is sometimes misspelled “brandegeana”.
