About
Asystasia minutiflora is an herbaceous plant. It belongs to a genus distributed across tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Australia.
Where it works in Kilifi
This plant thrives in warm, humid conditions and prefers bright, indirect sunlight or partial shade. It requires well-draining, nutrient-rich soil and can be used as a groundcover or for adding colour to a Kilifi-coast garden, with individual plants spaced approximately 0.45-0.6 metres apart.
Growing notes
Asystasia minutiflora is relatively easy to cultivate. It needs regular watering to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged and is not tolerant of frost. Pruning helps to maintain its shape and encourages bushier growth.
