Cooley's Water Willow (Justicia cooleyi) is a rare perennial herb recognized as endangered in Florida. This compact plant reaches about 16 inches in height and spreads 12 to 18 inches wide, making it ideal for smaller spaces. Its delicate white, pink, or purple flowers flourish in partial sunlight (filtered sun), adding a soft elegance to any garden.
Highly adaptable, Cooley's Water Willow tolerates drought but thrives in moist soils. Requiring little to no maintenance, it’s a perfect choice for gardeners looking to support endangered native species while enjoying a unique, low-maintenance addition to their landscape.
