Description

Strobilanthes Dyeriana is renowned for its striking, iridescent foliage displaying a spectrum of purple, silver, and green hues. Although primarily grown for foliage this evergreen shrub or sub-shrub produces small lavender bell-shaped flowers in a short spike. These beautiful flowers bloom from late summer to early winter. It thrives in sandy loam well-draining soil that retains some moisture, needs full to partial sun, and requires average watering needs. The nature of this plant makes it an ideal choice for beds and borders, patio containers and indoor settings. At maturity this plant can grow to measure 1 to 4 feet tall and wide. The Strobilanthes Dyeriana has hardiness zones from 9 to 10.
