This plant has an upright habit and can reach 3 foot in height. For zones 9-11, this plant can also be a perennial. Warmer temperatures enhance the leaf color. They are widely used in landscape beds or in mixed containers. The leaves are a flushed purple with silver iridescence and dark purple underneath. Persian Shield tends to get tall and fall over, so pinch back a few times in the first half of the growing season to induce branching and bushier foliage. In summers with sweltering heat, this plant displays multi-colored foliage that is always exquisite. The Strobilanthes Persian Shield, 'Strobilanthes dyerianus', is an Athens Select variety.
