The term “Lollipop plant” commonly refers to Pachystachys lutea, also known as the Golden Shrimp Plant. This tropical shrub is easily recognizable and gets its name from its distinctive flower spikes. These spikes are composed of bright golden-yellow bracts that overlap like shingles, resembling a lollipop or a shrimp in shape. From these bracts emerge small, white, tubular true flowers that are relatively short-lived but continuously appear throughout the warm months, providing a long season of visual interest.
The Golden Shrimp Plant is native to tropical regions of the Americas and thrives in warm, humid environments. It typically grows to a height of 2 to 4 feet and features attractive, veined, dark green leaves. It is a popular choice for gardens in tropical and subtropical climates and is often grown as a summer annual or container plant in cooler regions. It prefers partial shade to full sun and requires well-drained soil with regular watering. Pinching back the stems can encourage bushier growth and more abundant flowering. The bright yellow “lollipops” are also attractive to pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds.
