Lollipop Flower (Pachystachys lutea)
Best choice for indoor gardeners seeking reliable, year-round vibrant color.

While its rocket-shaped yellow bracts demand a bit of occasional pruning to keep the plant from getting leggy, the trade-off is a reliable, year-round display that makes other houseplants look dull by comparison.
