Persian Shield
Trouble-free for quick coverage wherever you need it!
A foliage plants with tri-colored leaves and a glossy texture!
Few foliage plants can equal the drama and attention-getting impact of Persian Shield! These glossy, elegantly pointed leaves -- a full 4 to 6 inches long and held out straight for maximum show -- have a shimmering maroon base, richly overlaid with lilac and blue striping and veining. Stunning!
Persian Shield grows in full sun or part shade, quickly forming a mound 24 to 30 inches wide. Superb for garden or container, it combines well with pink Cascading Petunia and blue Cascading Petunia, and offers great contrast to white- and yellow-blooming plants.
For trouble-free, quick coverage anywhere you need it, Persian Shield is a distinctive, eye-catching choice!
