2 Crossandra 'Florida Sunset' Plants - Live Starters (4-8 Inches) - Golden-Apricot Firecracker Flower - Glossy Leaved Tropical for Indoors & Patio

Brand: Zaylee Garden Nursery

Color: Apricot, Green

Features:

• 2 FLORIDA SUNSET STARTERS: Includes two (2) rooted Crossandra 'Florida Sunset' starter plants, approx. 4-8 inches tall. This specific variety is cherished for its rare foliage-flower contrast and compact, manageable growth habit.
• GOLDEN-APRICOT BLOOMS: Distinct from common orange varieties, 'Florida Sunset' produces flower spikes in soft, warm shades of golden-yellow, nutmeg, and apricot. These 'firecracker' blooms glow beautifully against the dark, shiny leaves.
• TROPICAL GROWING ZONES: Thrives outdoors in USDA Zones 10-11. As a true tropical, it loves warmth and humidity. In cooler regions (Zones 4-9), it is an exceptional flowering houseplant or summer annual for shaded patios.
• LIGHT & SOIL NEEDS: Prefers Bright Indirect Light. Direct midday sun can fade the unique flower color and scorch leaves. Requires fertile, well-draining soil that remains consistently moist but not waterlogged.
• GLOSSY EVERGREEN FOLIAGE: The plant features deep green, high-gloss leaves that look polished and decorative even when not in bloom. It grows as a tidy, bush-like mound, reaching 12-18 inches in height - perfect for containers.
• INITIAL CARE STEPS: Unbox immediately to provide airflow. Handle the root plug gently to keep soil intact. Hydrate thoroughly (Crossandra wilts if dry) and place in a warm, bright spot before repotting
