Barleria elegans is a graceful flowering shrub that flaunts vibrant purple blooms with a tubular structure, designed to attract pollinators.

Thriving in warm climates, barleria elegans can often be observed basking in the full sun, although it tolerates some shade. Its drought resilience and low maintenance requirements reflect an adaptation to semi-arid environments.
