Iresine Herbstii 4L

Iresine herbstii 4L – Bloodleaf

A striking foliage plant with rich burgundy-red leaves and contrasting pinkish-red veins, adding bold colour and texture to the garden.

Characteristics:
Iresine herbstii is a bushy, fast-growing perennial prized for its colourful foliage rather than its small, insignificant flowers. It works beautifully as a border plant, colourful filler, or feature in pots and containers. Pinching back the growing tips encourages a fuller, bushier plant.

Growing conditions:

– Light: Full sun to light shade; brighter light brings out the strongest leaf colour
– Water: Keep soil consistently moist, but well drained
– Soil: Rich, fertile soil with good drainage
– Size: Approximately 60–100 cm, depending on conditions and pruning
– Cold: Protect from frost and very cold conditions
– Maintenance: Pinch or prune regularly to maintain a compact, bushy shape

A gorgeous choice when you want deep, dramatic foliage colour without relying on flowers.
