They are known for their vibrant flowers and unique foliage, which can vary significantly among species. Some varieties are popular in ornamental gardening due to their striking appearance. Many species of Strobilanthes are also known for their ability to thrive in shaded areas, making them suitable for undergrowth in gardens.
