Princettia® stands out for its naturally bushy growth and clusters of delicate, narrow bracts in a range of vibrant tones. Plants are tolerant down to around 5°C (41°F), which means Princettia® can thrive outdoors on patios or balconies through much of autumn, before any frosts, bringing color to outdoor spaces just as most plants fade.
