''Strobilanthes dyerianus'' ('''Persian Shield''') is a tropical plant native to [[Myanmar]]. It is grown for its dark green foliage with bright, metallic-purple stripes radiating outward from the central leaf vein. In proper conditions, it will also produce pale purple flowers. Persian Shield grows best outdoors in [[United States Department of Agriculture|USDA]] zones 9 and 10, although it can survive in other zones as a houseplant given sufficient temperature, soil moisture and humidity.
