Justicia carnea, commonly known as Jacobinia or Brazilian Plume Flower, is an upright evergreen shrub valued for its striking, long-lasting floral displays. It produces tall, upright stems topped with dense plumes of tubular flowers in shades of rose-purple, red, pink, white, or orange depending on the selection.

This fast-growing shrub flowers repeatedly from early summer through autumn, often producing several strong blooming cycles each year. Its large, deep green leaves and architectural growth habit make it ideal for feature planting, mixed borders, hedging, and container use in warm climates.
