Violet's survival guide

Metallic purple glam!

Violet doesn’t just capture light—she bounces it back in full, shimmering ultraviolet. Hailing from the warm, humid climate of Myanmar, this Strobilanthes is a total showstopper, sporting leaves that look like they’ve been hand-burnished in metallic purple, silver foil, and deep emerald green. Rumor in the greenhouse is that Violet refuses to settle for "ordinary green" foliage, having once threatened to drop all her leaves if she didn't get top billing next to the sunniest window. She’s surprisingly easy to keep happy for a plant with this much star power: give her bright, indirect light to keep that purple sheen intense, high humidity, and soil that never completely dries out, and Violet will bring high-octane, disco-ball energy to your plant collection.

How to care for Violet

The Strobilanthes Dyeriana, otherwise known as the Persian Shield or Royal Purple Plant is a stunning tropical plant with bright purple metallic/iridescent foliage. Originating in Southeast Asia, the Persian Shield is happiest in dappled sunlight and warm, humid air. It is a relatively easy houseplant, tolerant of most lighting conditions and only requiring water once the top 2 inches of soil dry out.
