The Variegated Brazilian Skyflower is a stunning ornamental shrub that captivates with its striking variegated leaves and clusters of vibrant blue flowers. This plant is not only visually appealing but also attracts pollinators, making it a fantastic addition to any garden. Its lush foliage, marked by creamy white edges, adds a beautiful contrast to the brilliant blue blooms that typically appear in summer, creating a lively display in your landscape.
Type of Light: Full Sun to Partial Shade
This shrub thrives in full sun but can also adapt to partial shade. For the best flowering and foliage color, aim for at least 6 hours of sunlight daily.
Watering: Moderate Water Requirement
Variegated Brazilian Skyflower prefers evenly moist soil but is tolerant of short dry spells once established. Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. In cooler months, reduce watering to prevent root rot.
Companion Planting:
Pair this beautiful shrub with Hibiscus, Lantana, or Bougainvillea for a vibrant tropical garden. It also complements other flowering plants like Salvia and Verbena, enhancing the overall appeal while providing habitat for butterflies and hummingbirds.
