Ribbon bush is an evergreen subshrub that reaches heights of 3-6 feet (91-183 cm) with a similar spread. It has erect stems with soft, dark green ovate leaves. In late autumn to early winter, ribbon bush comes alive with showy lavender flowers. These blooms are tightly clustered on terminal spikes, under leafy bracts, and are distinctive for their two-lipped formation with the upper lip reflexed back, showcasing white markings. Ideal for full sun to light shade, ribbon bush requires well-drained soil and tolerates occasional watering.
