The Andrographis Plant (Andrographis paniculata), also known as Green Chiretta, Creat, King of Bitters, Kalmegh, Kariyat, Indian Echinacea, Bhunimba and Chuan Xin Lian, is a fast-growing annual for herb gardens and botanical collections.
Andrographis grows to approximately 1 metre tall and 60 cm wide. Its slender green stems and narrow leaves create an upright form. In late summer, delicate white flowers with purple markings add subtle ornamental interest.
Grow it for its distinctive flowers, botanical interest or as part of a diverse herb collection.
Choose a warm position with partial shade or bright, filtered light, particularly in hotter Australian climates. Provide moist, well-drained soil and water regularly without leaving the roots waterlogged.
Andrographis is sensitive to frost and prolonged drought. As an annual, it completes its life cycle within a single growing season.
Include Andrographis alongside other botanical favourites such as Ashwagandha and Echinacea to create a varied herb garden.
Its seasonal growth and delicate flowers offer something interesting for gardeners who enjoy exploring less familiar plants.
