Strobilanthes Gossypinus (Persian Shield) is a stunning evergreen shrub that originates from the hill stations of Southern India and Sri Lanka. Known for its striking, silvery-grey foliage, this plant is highly prized for adding texture and color contrast to gardens. The long, lance-shaped leaves have a unique cotton-like feel, giving the plant a soft and elegant appearance.

Though its small, trumpet-shaped violet flowers are attractive, it is the foliage that truly captures attention. Persian Shield is perfect for creating a tropical look in your garden, providing year-round visual appeal with its unusual and luxurious foliage.
