I think so - I have the white and the pink and they are really pretty when they're all in bloom! I think they look like fireworks, myself!

Thanks!

The don't appear to get seeds - at least I can't find them! They root REALLY easily though, so if you can find someone near you with one you can just get a small piece and it will root . . . In the walmart down here they sold the pink ones last year and you could tell they were just rooted cuttings of the tops where the blooms come - they were only about 4" tall!

Love Justicia. I've had the two kinds of pinks that Logee's sell, the white one, the red one, the orange one, and this one. I believe this one is my favorite. The reason......because once it starts blooming, it just keeps getting bigger and bigger and always has bloom.

Thanks. It's a lot prettier in person. All Justicia are pretty. This one is harder to root though.

Sure, they all bloom here. It just means that they have to be held over in the house for the winter months.
