How to grow Brazilian Plume Flower

Jacobinia carnea

Dappled Sun
OR
Full Shade

Jacobina should be grown on rich, well drained soil that receives ample moisture in a location shaded from full-day. Although tender to frost, plants will grow back quickly in springtime in USDA hardiness zones 8 and 9. Prune during the growing season only to remove spent flowers or occasionally pinch to stimulate branching. Since flowers form in new growth, prune early in the spring in order to not reduce flower display. Older plants benefit from rejuvenation type pruning where most of the taller stems are cut back to a node close to the ground. If this is performed each year, plants will last for many years.¹
