Sanchezia speciosa is an attractive shrub from the rainforests of South and Central America.
It is grown for its interesting foliage, large deep green leaves with prominent yellow veins.
From mid spring to mid autumn tubular yellow flowers with reddish bracts are borne on floral spikes above the foliage.
An excellent shrub for planting under a tree canopy, although it will grow in partially sunny or shady areas it grows best in dappled light under trees.
