Description

Brillantaisia cicatricosa is a large long-flowering shrub, about 1,5 m tall and quite wide.

It is not a salvia as looks and one of the plant’s common names, giant sage, suggest. The plant belongs to the Acanthaceae or Acanthus family, one of the about 2500 of them! Sages and salvias form part of a different, the Lamiaceae or mint family (www.igarden.com.au; Wikipedia).
