Asystasia gangetica
Family: Acanthaceae

Herby annual that will provide quick ground cover or scramble up through bushes and vines.

“Its spikes of cream-coloured flowers with purple ‘landing strips’ for insects are very slightly reminiscent of a foxglove – but tiny: more like a mouse-glove than a foxglove.”
