⭕️ Why PeopleCats?



"One cat just leads to another..." - Ernest Hemingway

Most PlantPeople are also PetPeople, and many of them are CatPeople - people who have PeopleCats!

Here @TopTropicals, we find that combination both fun and incredibly productive in the garden! Currently, we have over 30 cats across our two locations - each one rescued, with many of them coming from uncertain beginnings, lucky to have found their sweet home with us.

At TopTropicals Garden Center, we're proud to be a cat-friendly plant facility. Our cats play an integral role in our daily routine, showering us with love and even making us better people. Our team takes great care of them, with cat care being part of their daily tasks.

And of course, our customers absolutely adore our , who guide them through the nursery and entertain them at our local plant events.

Come visit us in purr-son and make friends with our #PeopleCats!

Why is it called Blood Feather?

Sanchezia stenomacra - Blood Red Feather

Sanchezia stenomacra - Blood Red Feather

Why is it called Blood Feather?

  • A true gem for tropical plant enthusiasts, Sanchezia stenomacra - Blood Red Feather - is a rare and stunning perennial.
  • Native to the jungles of Peru, it thrives in humid environments with filtered light, making it perfect for lush, shaded spots in your garden, greenhouse or indoor plant collection.
  • Its striking blood-red flowers, shaped like delicate feathers, add a bold splash of color and are irresistible to hummingbirds. Feathery burgundy-red plumes rise above the deep green foliage and last for weeks. The true flowers are orange-red and tubular, emerging from the wispy flower heads day after day.
  • Upright, vigorous grower. When plants become too large, they can take a hard pruning and quickly recover and re-flower. Flowering continuously throughout the year, it even does well under partial sun.
  • A rare find for private collections, this showy plant is sure to become a centerpiece of your tropical paradise.
