Hypoestes aristata
“Ribbon Bush”

One of our most anticipated bloomers of the year! Exploding into riotous Fall flower – the entire shrub becomes smothered in erect, multi-tiered flower spikes with stunning, vivid lavender and white speckled blooms. Provides endless fodder for late-season bouquets. Extremely ornamental and easy to grow! Can grow quite large if left to its own devices (ours reached a mammoth 6’ high and over 8’ wide), but it really does look best when kept around 5’x5’. Evergreen! Average water is fine, and rich soil is preferred.
