Persian Shield is among the most sought after foliage prizes among plants lovers worldwide. The main attraction is the unique shimmering iridescent purple color, highly metallic and always a stunning contrast in any garden setting. You can use Persian Shield in pots indoors as well. Persian Shield is hardy in zones 9-11 outdoors, but can be enjoyed as a houseplant over winter then re-planted in your spring garden. In cooler regions it can be kept in the house, year round. The plant you will receive is growing in a 3 1/2" pot.
