| Botanical Name | Pachystachys lutea |
| Description | Known for its striking upright spikes of golden-yellow bracts, the Yellow Shrimp Plant is a tropical delight that flourishes in Houston's warmth. It is highly adaptable to various soil types but performs best in organic-rich, well-drained soil. While it appreciates the local humidity, it should be protected from the harshest afternoon sun. In areas with heavy clay, ensuring good drainage is vital to prevent root rot during the rainy season. |
| Exposure | Part Shade to Filtered Sun |
| Height x Width | 2-3' H x 2-3' W |
| Water | Medium; prefers consistent moisture without being waterlogged. |
| Zones | 9 - 11 (Root hardy in Zone 9; may need winter protection) |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season. |
| Pruning | Pinch back tips to encourage bushier growth and remove spent flower spikes. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
