Description
A tropical foliage plant with large, lance-shaped leaves in vivid iridescent purple and silver — the metallic sheen is eye-catching in the right light. In the right conditions, funnel-shaped violet-blue flowers appear as a bonus.
Grows in bright indirect light or dappled shade. Prefers warm, humid conditions. Works indoors, in courtyards, or in sheltered outdoor positions. Frost tender — protect from cold in winter. Water regularly and feed through the growing season.
Botanical name: Strobilanthes dyerianus
