What Is This Plant? (Persian Shield)

RE: What Is This Plant? Post by raisingyrl (2) | (04/07/2006) Contact Cant think of its name off hand, but they sell them at walmart. Best thing to do, if you are really stumped, is take the whole plant, or a few leaves, to your nearest landscape/garden shop. Someone to works with plants for a living will know. RE: What Is This Plant? Post by Mimtess (3) | (04/07/2006) Contact This looks very much like a plant I have in my garden. Sorry, can't remember the name. I too, bought it because it had been overlooked and looked so forlorn and best of all on sale. I thought I would try to save it and it has rewarded me so well. I had it in a fairly shady location, it grows like a hosta, has those gorgeous purple/burgundy leaves and in the summer grows spikes with pink flowers, similar to the way hostas do. Last year I divided it and put a small piece in another shady corner and it's looking good this spring. Good Luck with this plant. RE: What Is This Plant?
