Description

King of Bitters, native to China and India, is a long growing annual at 160 days to maturity, though the leaf can be harvested before that time. Rare in the trade and a highly desired plant. Andrographis is an attractive plant that does best in hot humid locations.  It can grow in other hot sunny locations provided it is watered. Shady conditions will promote leaf growth and slow flowering and seed production. This annual plant can reach 35-40″ in height in one season producing a dark green bush festooned with small white flowers with purple markings. It’s not a fussy plant and will grow on almost any soil type as long as it’s not waterlogged. Once established it takes little or no care and can be left to just be enjoyed throughout the long flowering period. If growing for harvesting good soil and nitrogen fertilizers are recommended.
