Pachystachys lutea, known as the golden shrimp plant or lollipop plant,[1] is a tropical, soft-stemmed evergreen shrub between 0.5 and 2.5 meters tall, native to Peru.

[2][3] The zygomorphic, long-throated, short-lived white flowers emerge sequentially from overlapping bright yellow bracts on racemes that are produced throughout the warm months.

[2] The Latin specific epithet lutea means "yellow".

[4] It is cultivated as an ornamental, but in cold temperate regions it requires protection from temperatures below 10 °C (50 °F).

[5] It has won the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
