Stop planting shade plants until you see this one!
  • 🚩Megaskepasma erythrochlamys - Brazilian plume or Red Cloak is one of my favorite winter colors in the garden. It comes from a plant most people overlook.

  • It keeps pushing bold red flower spikes when many plants slow down.
  • 🚩It handles sun or shade, attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, and even surprises people with light cold tolerance. Big leaves, strong structure, and steady color make it a solid choice for beds, fences, or large containers.
  • 🚩If your garden needs color that does not quit when the season changes, this one earns its space.
