Iridescent violet-purple leaves with deep green veining and a darkened edge.
Persian Shield is a sun- to part-sun-tolerant annual grown for its saturated foliage color and upright habit, bringing height and strong contrast to containers and garden beds.
What You'll Use It For
A bold foliage thriller that adds height and metallic color contrast.
- Adding height and bold foliage color to containers
- Creating contrast against greens or lighter plants
- Building focal points in mixed plantings
- Pairing with silvers, chartreuse, or deep reds
- Filling space with a strong, upright structure
Why Lazy Leaf Loves It
The violet-purple color shifts slightly depending on light, with a soft metallic sheen that keeps it from reading flat. The darker edges and green veining give each leaf structure, so it holds detail even in dense plantings. It grows upright, fills out well, and keeps its color through heat and sun exposure.
