Botanical name: Aphelandra sinclairiana    Family: Acanthaceae (Acanthus family)

Coral Shrimp Plant is a tall shrub, sometimes reaching up to 10 ft high, but normally it is kept around 3-4 ft by trimming. The rose-red tubular flowers are borne in orange-red bracts on 8 inch long spikes, in an unusual color combination. The showy spikes are borne at branch-ends, many together. The long tapered elliptic leaves are glossy green to yellow-green, with depressed veins that add a corrugated texture. Coral Shrimp Plant is native to Central America, cultivated as garden plant elsewhere.
