Description

The flowers bloom throughout the year in tropical regions, adding continuous color to the landscape. They are often used in hanging baskets, where the flowers can cascade down, or as a focal point in garden beds. Regular pruning can help maintain the plant’s shape and encourage more vigorous blooming.

Chenille Plants are relatively easy to care for but should be handled with care, as some parts of the plant can cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals.
