The Shrimp Plant is a fast-growing shrub that can be kept compact by hard pruning. It’s a good bloomer, producing flower spikes all year.
Most varieties bear spikes of shrimp pink bracts with white tubular flowers. Others form yellow or chartreuse bracts that last a long time. Shrimp plants are beautiful plants to grow in your garden or home.
Shrimp plants add a terrific tropical element that you can use in pots on patios. Blooming nearly year-round, bright rosy-pink to salmon-coloured shrimp-like flower bracts are sure to grab attention. This clump-forming shrub requires little care other than occasional trimming, they are evergreen in frost-free areas but if you live in cooler areas you can grow them as house plants.
