Its leaves, resembling little pointed armor shields, showcase a mesmerizing purplish iridescence, complemented by a silvery metallic sheen. Native to Myanmar (formerly Burma) but fondly known as "Persian," this plant adds an aura of royalty to any space. Watch as it transforms your garden or indoor area into a captivating kaleidoscope of colors.
    • Versatility Unleashed: Whether you reside in a warm climate or cooler regions, the Persian Shield adapts with ease. In hot climates, it thrives as an evergreen subshrub, while in transitional zones, it gracefully returns as a root-hardy perennial in spring. For cooler regions, it becomes a cherished annual garden gem or potted houseplant. Its vibrant purple foliage entices admirers, offering a delightful display of elegance throughout the year.
    • Easy and Rewarding: Cultivating the Persian Shield is a rewarding experience with minimal effort. Provide it with dappled sunlight and ample moisture in warm conditions to see it flourish in all its glory. This radiant plant blooms during winter, enchanting you with its colorful foliage. Although the purple hue may fade with age, the Persian Shield never loses its charm, captivating your heart for years to come.
    • Light Up Your Space: In its native habitat, the Persian Shield thrives in dappled light conditions, akin to the edges of tropical forest clearings. To unleash its true splendor, offer it partial shade, revealing the lustrous shine of its leaves. Even in cooler climates, this regal plant shines when grown as an annual under full sun. As a houseplant, it craves bright light, including some direct sun, to maintain its captivating colors.

    Testimonials

    "Came in perfect condition--thank you!"

    Natalie

    "Amazing Plants! I was so happy to see these way larger than the plants pictured because I know how slow most cycads grow."

    Matthew

    "This is the first time I've ever ordered plants online, so I had no idea what to expect. When I saw the description of 'comes in a 4" growers' pot' I figured I'd be getting some fairly small plants--nope! The bamboo palms were fully 2' tall from root to top leaf, and perfectly healthy. All 5 plants were VERY well secured in their box, to the point that the bottom layer was even spray-foamed to the cardboard! I couldn't ask for a better experience and I'm so excited to see these plants grow. Five stars!"

    Nathaniel

    "Thrilled with my purchase! This seller went above any beyond! The packaging was very careful, the plants are so much bigger than I expected, and I was given more than what was depicted in the item description. 10/10 all round!"

    Trisha

    "This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Packaging was perfect and efficient, plant was in excellent condition. I'm in love with this plant and I will definitely order more."
