| Botanical Name | Orthosiphon aristatus 'White' |
| Description | A show-stopping tropical known for blooms that mimic feline whiskers. While it loves Houston's high humidity, it is sensitive to "wet feet." In areas with heavy clay, we recommend amending with compost or planting in raised beds/containers to ensure the sharp drainage this variety requires to survive our intense summer rain. |
| Exposure | Part Sun to Filtered Shade; protect from harsh afternoon West sun. |
| Height x Width | 24-36 inches Tall x 24-36 inches Wide |
| Water | Regular; keep soil moist but never soggy. |
| Zones | 9-11 (Perennial in Houston; treat as annual or move indoors during freezes). |
| Fertilization | Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer. |
| Pruning | Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering and pinch back tips for a bushier habit. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
