Strobilanthes Orizaba

Description

Strobilanthes orizaba is a compact, ornamental perennial known for its stunning display of deep purple to violet tubular flowers that bloom from late summer to fall. The flowers are contrasted by the plant’s dark green, glossy leaves, which provide a lush backdrop to the colorful blooms. The plant has a bushy, clumping growth habit, making it ideal for adding structure and color to garden beds or containers.

Preferring full sun to partial shade and well-drained, fertile soil, Strobilanthes orizaba is well-suited for tropical and subtropical gardens, as well as for use in mixed plantings or as a container plant. Hardy in USDA zones 9-11, it is relatively low-maintenance and requires little care once established. Whether used for its dramatic blooms, glossy foliage, or as part of a pollinator-friendly garden, Strobilanthes orizaba adds year-round beauty and interest to any outdoor space.
