Pachystachys lutea aka Golden Shrimp Plant

Pachystachys lutea, also known as the Golden Shrimp Plant or Lollipop Plant, is a tropical, soft-stemmed evergreen shrub native to Peru. It is easy to identify due to its beautiful yellow flowers and white buds which are cone-shaped flower heads. It wins numerous awards among gardening groups of the world. Even though it originally occurs in warm climates, it can be grown outdoors in cold temperate regions, although it requires protection from temperatures below 10 °C (50 °F). It has won the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit. As a houseplant, it needs regular watering and does best in long-lasting, direct light and should be placed less than one foot away from a window. This plant is an excellent choice for those looking to attract butterflies to their gardens, and is relatively easy to grow, so long as it is regularly pruned during its flowering months.
