''Justicia americana'' (American Water-willow), is native to eastern [[North America]] north to southern [[Ontario]]; it is the hardiest species in the genus, hardy to USDA Plant Zone 4. ''Justicia ovata'' (Looseflower Water-willow) occurs nearly as far north, reaching [[Michigan]].

''Justicia brandegeeana'' (formerly ''Beloperone guttata'', commonly called Shrimp Plant) is native to [[Mexico]]. It is hardy to −4 °C but will often recover in the spring after freezing back in USDA Plant Zone 8a.
''Justicia carnea'' (formerly ''Jacobinia carnea'', common names including Brazilian Plume Flower, Flamingo Flower, and Jacobinia) is native to [[South America]] in southern [[Brazil]], [[Paraguay]] and northern [[Argentina]]. It is hardy to −2 °C but will often recover in the spring after freezing back in USDA Plant Zone 8a.
