Iresine Herbstii Brilliantissima

Iresine Herbstii ‘Brilliantissima’, aka Bloodleaf, Chicken-Gizzard, or Beefsteak Plant, is a fascinating plant that can be grown as an annual outside during the summer or as a houseplant throughout the year. It most likely gets its common name from the glossy, beet-red leaves with neon-pink veins. This variety is particularly noted for its intense coloration, making it a popular choice for adding a splash of colour to indoor spaces or shaded garden areas. The plant’s bushy, compact growth habit makes it an excellent selection for both pot culture and outdoor bedding in warmer climates.
