A very striking plant with bright red furry flowers that hang down like a cat’s tail.
Easy to grow, Chenille Plant likes rich moist soil and a sunny to partly sunny location. Can get up to 8 feet tall or can easily be pruned back to desired size. Fills in areas nicely without becoming invasive.
Keep the soil mulched to conserve moisture, as Chenille Plant will get wilty if it dries out- however, a good watering will snap a wilted plant right back into shape. The eye catching unusual flowers make an impressive statement in the tropical garden!
