Two views of my Persian Shield ( plant.
This was taken August 22. In my zone (6a) this is an annual. I've tried several times to overwinter it or take a cutting, but it isn't easy. I succeeded with rooting a cutting once but I don't have time to fuss with this plant.
More of a closeup, taken August 23. The sun was shining on the front leaves, and it really shows off their purple color.
My son loves these plants. I've grown them from years. I had to get mine mail order this year, and chose to get only one. So yes, this is one plant. They are highly adaptable, too, loving full sun or even part sun (which their spot in my back yard is).
(Speaking of purple, I hope you will visit my blog tomorrow for Music Moves Me.)
Joining Lisa at This and That: A Blog, for her #ShadowshotSunday. Why not come out of the shadows and join us, too? All you need is a picture with a shadow in it.
...it sure is showy!
