Genus: Pachystachys

When I lived in the colder regions of Australia I had this as a potplant, but it didn't last long. I was so surprised to find them growing here in the garden. They come from South America.

I love this one too, but quit over wintering it in the house,because the white flies just loved this one ! If I grow it now ,I just grow it as an annual ,it's just to pretty to resist.

Thanks.... I was trying to create a small garden/patio entrance to the front door, that had a peaceful and welcoming feeling. Hope I achieved it. :0) Just added a little distressed bistro table with 2 chairs for extra ambience.

Loks like a nice, serene little area - like the birdbath!
