| Description | A small plant with long white, moth attracting flowers. Much smaller then other Justicias, this species easily reseeds and can form patches in a garden. In habitat this species is restricted to southern Arizona, however, this plant has a higher elevational range than other Justicias and may be more cold tolerant. Plants are often more succesful in partial shade. |
