brazilian candles

Although the Brazilian candles plant isn’t offered at nurseries as regularly as bromeliads or peace lilies, this tropical flower is worth seeking out. It’s a prolific bloomer and easy to grow, even for beginning gardeners.

An unusual feature of Brazilian candles is its habit of secreting plant juices that form attractive glistening beads on the leaves and stems.

Pavonia multiflora, Family Malvaceae
