Description

Strobilanthes alternata, commonly known as the Purple Waffle Plant, is a tropical perennial native to Southeast Asia, particularly the Maluku Islands of Indonesia. It is prized for its distinctive, puckered foliage that exhibits a metallic green to purple hue on the upper surface and a rich wine-red underside. This low-growing plant typically reaches 6 to 9 inches in height and spreads indefinitely along the ground, rooting at the stem nodes as it goes. The Purple Waffle Plant thrives in warm, humid environments with bright, indirect light and consistently moist soil. While it produces small white flowers in the summer, its primary appeal lies in its vibrant foliage. Due to its compact size and striking appearance, it is commonly used as a groundcover, in containers, or as an indoor houseplant.

Distinctive puckered, metallic green to purple foliage with wine-red undersides.
