Hohenbergia Stellata

Hohenbergia stellata is known to many as a long-time landscape favorite. This outstanding plant is a rosette forming herb that can reach a height of up to 48 inches tall. It has green strap-shaped leaves with finely serrated margins. Extending beyond the leaves is a single inflorescence growing per rosette. At the tip of this inflorescence are clusters of star-shaped flowers. Each cluster is composed of pink floral bracts which mature into reddish orange to deep red in color as time passes by.
