Add a tropical touch to your garden with Neomarica northiana, commonly known as the Apostle Plant. This elegant evergreen perennial produces graceful fans of glossy, sword-shaped green leaves and stunning, lightly fragrant white and blue flowers. Each bloom lasts just one day but appears in succession from late spring through early autumn, providing ongoing beauty and intrigue.
Easy to grow and wonderfully unique, the Apostle Plant is ideal for bright shade or filtered sunlight. It spreads naturally by forming new plantlets after flowering, creating an eye-catching “walking” effect as it propagates. Perfect for shaded borders, tropical gardens, or indoor containers, this resilient plant brings a sense of exotic charm and movement wherever it grows.
