I have these too!! One of my favorites. Mine are not real happy in the current heat though. Yours looks great!!! 💜💜💜

@cheriej yeah the heat can be a problem!💘😍

#persianshield #purple #purpleandsilver love this stuff! But it looks suspiciously pinkish in this photo, trust me it's very purple!

So beautiful 🤩 you know I love it 🥰

@docthrill I do know! Thanks!💘😍

I love it too! I’m jealous, they didn’t have it at my local nursery this year.

@cheriej I usually get mine inside with the house plants, very very seldom am I ever able to find it in the outdoor gardening🤷‍♀️ 💘😍

@gjones I totally agree Katy!💘😍

It’s colours are beautiful 💜💜💜

Great colour hun 💜💜

@pelly thanks! The color is quite outstanding!💘😍

@juliesgarden thank you I think so too!💘😍

I love these. I was surprised to find one in an outdoor garden centre. Trying to get more purple in mine without burning the leaves. Using grow lights. 💜💜

@hkyfvr So do I Diane! I'm surprised that all garden centers don't carry them ,I think they would sell like hotcakes!💘😍

They are so awesome, from purple to silver. And they grow so fast. One of my favorite foliage. Now I have to post mine, it’s been a while. 😆

#persianshield #foliagefriday #purple one of my all time favorites!

@hayleyaj 💘😍

Of course , another Persian!!!👍🏻🤗🤗😊💕

@terrimclaughlin yep!! Gotta get my Persian shield!🤗💘😍

I took cuttings and tried to overwinter this. It really wasn’t my most successful project. Does anyone have any tips. I love this plant!

@janetandjim hi Janet 🙋 has your cutting's rooted? I imagine it turned to a sickly greenish and something I'm not sure what to call it! Is it gangly? My suggestion is to cut it back (be sure you have leaf nodes) and get it into as much sun as you can, it may take a while but it should come back to this beauty!🙂💘😍

Oh mine too! 😍

Great colour 💜

Wow that’s gorgeous 💜

@gjones agreed!!💘😍

@juliesgarden isn't it though!💘😍

@suerichards thanks Sue!💘😍
