The Persian Shield is a striking accent plant known for its bold, lavender and purple iridescent foliage that shimmers with a silvery metallic sheen. Its uniquely pointed leaves resemble tiny armor shields, giving the plant both its name and its dramatic visual appeal.
Extremely vigorous and heat-tolerant, Persian Shield is perfect for mixed containers, hanging baskets, window boxes, or even as an eye-catching addition to the landscape. It thrives in partial shade to bright, indirect light, where its vivid coloration truly shines.
