Strobilanthes dyerianus, commonly known as the Persian Shield, is a tropical plant native to Myanmar. It is prized for its striking, iridescent leaves that display a vibrant mix of purple, green, and silver hues. The leaves are oval-shaped and can grow up to 6 inches long, making them a popular choice for ornamental gardening. This plant thrives in warm, humid environments and prefers partial shade to full shade. It can be grown in containers or as a houseplant, but it is sensitive to cold temperatures. Regular watering and well-draining soil are essential for its growth and health.
