Golden Shrimp Plant (Lollipop Plant)

Root cuttings or plant nursery transplants in moist, fertile, well-drained soil in partial shade to filtered sun — golden shrimp plant is one of the most continuously showy flowering plants for shaded Gulf Coast gardens, producing upright spikes of overlapping golden-yellow bracts with small white tubular flowers emerging from the tips, blooming nearly year-round in frost-free climates from late spring through fall. The bright golden cones create striking color in shaded beds, under trees, and along north-facing walls where few other flowering plants perform well. Pinch stem tips regularly in the first month after planting to encourage bushy growth; established plants can be cut back by half in late winter to rejuvenate. In zone 9, top growth is killed by frost but plants often resprout from roots if the freeze is brief; in zone 10–11 it grows as a permanent landscape shrub. An outstanding container plant for shaded patios and screened porches. Спосіб посадки: Розмноження живцюванням Відстань між рослинами: 24–36 дюймів Висота: 24–48 дюймів
