Megaskepasma erythrochlamys (Brazilian Red Cloak)

Megaskepasma erythrochlamys, commonly known as Brazilian Red Cloak, is a bold tropical evergreen shrub admired for its large ornamental flower bracts. It produces tall spikes of white tubular flowers surrounded by vivid red bracts, creating a dramatic display that stands out strongly against its lush green foliage.

This highly decorative shrub is ideal for warm-climate gardens, feature planting, and sheltered landscapes. It performs best in part shade where its bracts retain their rich colour, and it can be pruned to maintain shape and encourage dense, bushy growth. Its striking floral display makes it a standout focal plant in tropical and subtropical designs.
