Swallow Tail (Christia obcordata)
Features
A wonderful and unique plant that is sure to grab attention. Christia gets its common name from its triangular-shaped foliage with green and burgundy striping similar to the veins of a bird’s feather, such as a “Swallowtail”. Also known as “Butterfly Plant” because the overall leaf shape resembles a butterfly’s wing.
Uses
Perfect for containers and hanging baskets. Adds a nice splash of color and contrast to mixed container plantings. Bring indoors to a bright window during cold weather.
