Yellow Shrimp Plant Live Plant – 4–8 Inches – Pachystachys lutea

The Yellow Shrimp Plant (Pachystachys lutea) is a tropical flowering shrub known for its upright growth and bright yellow flower bracts. Its green foliage and colorful blooms add interest to container gardens, borders, patios, and tropical-style landscapes.

This listing includes one live starter plant, 4–8 inches tall at shipping, grown in a 4-inch nursery pot. The plant ships without the pot, with its rootball wrapped in soil rather than shipped bare root. Actual size and appearance may vary by season.

It prefers full sun to partial shade, moderately moist soil, and good drainage. Blooming is generally reported from spring through fall under suitable growing conditions.
