Live Persian Shield Plant, Strobilanthes dyerianus live plant, royal purple plant. You will receive 1 live plant in a container 4″ tall with soil. Well rooted plants. Can grow as a house plant.

Persian shield is a stunning foliage plant that works equally well in summer gardens.

Characteristics:

Persian shield is a large, evergreen perennial known for its vibrant foliage. The iridescent purple leaves shimmer with a hint of silver. Each leaf can reach 4 to 7 inches long and 3 inches wide. Adding interest, the leaves also feature bold green stripes along the veins.

Persian shield can grow 3 to 4 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet across. It can be planted in perennial beds or used effectively in larger container gardens. Because of its colorful foliage, it pairs nicely with silver plants like artemisia or chartreuse plants like ‘Margarita’ ornamental sweet potato.

The plant flowers in winter with small violet flowers. The flowers are hardly noticeable, but if you find them obtrusive you can simply pinch them off.

Known scientifically as Strobilanthes dyerianus, Persian shield can be grown as a root-hardy perennial in USDA plant hardiness zones 8-11. In colder climates, it can be grown as a summer annual.

Planting and Care:

Persian shield loves humid climates, making it a perfect choice for summer gardens in Florida. It will perform best if it’s planted in a rich, well-drained soil that receives regular watering. Here in Florida, it’s best to plant it in partial to full shade.

The stems can sometimes get tall and flop over, so it’s a good idea to pinch the plant a few times early on to help create more branching.

Persian shield is cold tender, so gardeners should cover it when cold weather strikes. The other option is to treat the plant like an annual, replacing it in the spring if it doesn’t grow back from its roots.

Shipping notes: Because your plant has been in a box without sunlight for a few days in shipping, it might decide to yellow and drop few leaves when it first arrives. This is normal. (If it loses all leaves, this is not normal and you should contact us.) Adjust your plant to the light very slow, don’t put it on bright sun right away, wait for about 5 days.

PLANTS ARE NOT PERFECT! While we try our best to make sure every plant looks amazing, it is possible that a small burn spot or tiny hole may be present. We do grow our plants organically and some are grown outside, so its possible for nature to make a small imperfection.

We are bee and butterfly friendly nursery. We use minimal spraying and as much natural means to take care of our pests as much as possible. You might get few holes on leaves, it’s normal the plant won’t die.

If you have any questions please ask.

We do not want any confusion or misunderstanding.

Although we get many questions a day and at times it may take a few days to catch up with all messages.

Grown and available all year from sunny North Florida, without the use of pesticides.
