Iresine herbstii
“Beefsteak Plant”

The purple-red foliage & stems of this plant are quite eye-popping. It would be great foliage to mix in a vase with cut flowers. Native to Brazil & definitely looking tropical, it likes rich but well-drained soil & plenty of water. Grow in sun to part shade. Gets to be around 3’ tall. Pinch to encourage bushiness.
