Garden(s):
Orthosiphon aristatus is a well loved plant among our Horticulture staff. We have found it to perform very well in our area. It has been observed to be a highly attractive plant that requires little to no maintenance to keep it looking good. Our staff has also observed it to grow about four feet tall and three and a half feet wide in our gardens.
Furthermore, we have found Orthosiphon aristatus to perform best when in part sun situations, as we have observed it to yellow while in full sun. New plants appreciate ample moisture when becoming established.
