Mysterious Shrimp-Like Growths in Lawn

Identifying the Growths

A Pennsylvania gardener found shrimp-like growths in the lawn that regrew after mowing. Flies were attracted. The expert suspected these might not be ornamental shrimp plants (Justicia or Pachystachys) and requested a photo.

Common Shrimp Plants

  • Orange shrimp plant (Justicia brandegeeana)
  • Yellow shrimp plant (Pachystachys lutea)

Action Needed

Send a clear photo for accurate identification. Once identified, appropriate management advice can be provided.
