Brazilian Red Cloak

A brilliant tropical to sub tropical flowering shrub, Megaskepasma erythrochlamys is also known as Red Justica and Brazilian Red Cloak. Reaching around 2m (taller in ideal conditions) this is a winter flowering plant that has masses of red flowers held above a mid green glossy foliage.

Preferring a humus rich moist soil in full sun to part shade Megaskepasma also makes a great foliage plant during the non flowering period. If you are looking to maximise flowering try a position in full sun with just a little protection late in the day.

While flowering Megaskepasma can deadheaded to maintain appearance and then it can be pruned to shape, usually in spring.
