I love the look of it. I wish mine would get larger. Been here 3 years and still same size (4inches).

I like this opinion

A beautiful plant that hummingbirds love for the nectar. Flowers freely. Slender stems require pruning for a sturdy plant. Flowers are erect to distinguish this plant from the yellow form of Justicia brandegeeana.
