Belonging to the Acanthaceae family and native to Fiji, Amethyst Stars is a compact, perpetually flowering shrub prized for its star-shaped blooms in soft pink-lavender hues. The five-petaled flowers, each roughly an inch across, create striking visual interest throughout the growing season. This variety responds well to regular pruning, which encourages dense, bushy growth and prevents the leggy appearance that can develop without maintenance. While lower foliage naturally sheds, strategic cutting promotes fuller branching from the base. A magnet for pollinators and wildlife, Amethyst Stars attracts bees, butterflies, and birds, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking to support local ecosystems.
