Hello, I bought a plant recently that I really like, but I forgot what it is called. The name is something like strobilenta, or similar. It is a non-direct sun/bright indoor plant with green and purple pointed leaves. Here is a picture of it:
Thanks, Helen
Here you go:
Go to Google Images and enter Strobilanthes dyerianus Common name is Persian Shield. Not hardy in most of U.S. but probably a perennial in your area. Can easily grow to 4 foot height. Responds well to pruning to increase branching. May need some shade from afternoon sun in the South.
Thanks, Helen
Persian Shield for sure - I am in zone 7b - Atlanta - and mine dies down to the ground after the first real frost - but it comes back every year and gets about 4' tall.
I had several of them but I thought they were annuals in this area. I pulled them up after the frost turned them to black mush. I missed pulling this one up and its been coming back every spring. Beautiful plant. In full sun.
