1 Live Magenta Plant lá cẩm Peristrophe roxburghiana 红丝线 hong si xian about 5-8 inches tall
Peristrophe bivalvis Peristrophe roxburghiana is the accepted name of a species in the genus Peristrophe and the family Acanthaceae (previously described here as the synonym P. roxburghiana). It may be called magenta plant, or lá cẩm in Vietnamese and native to southeastern Asia from Assam south to Sri Lanka and east to mainland Southeast Asia, Java, southern China, and Taiwan.
Despite of the lack of beauty in its blooms, Peristrophe roxburghiana is a plant that is valued as a source of natural food dye. An extract of its leaves imparts a magenta colouring which is used to colour various food desserts in Vietnamese cuisine. The Chinese here knows it via the name ‘红丝线’ (hong si xian) which translates into ‘red silk threads’, with reference to the magenta/reddish dye that is found in its leaves which can be extracted by boiling leaves in water. The leaves of Peristrophe roxburghiana have a sweet taste with cooling properties and are also used medicinally to treat cough, dysentery, diarrhoea and bronchitis. Pregnant women should refrain from consuming this plant.

Our Mission:
Our primary mission when creating USA Garden Shop was so everyone can enjoy organic and pesticide free herbs and plants. In today fast-moving world, fruits and herb is chock-full of pesticide and chemicals. The herbs we love to use in our kitchen are not once how they used to be. We at USA Garden Shop want to promoted growing organic herbs and plants that can be used year round.
Our family like many families here in the United States, are immigrant. When we first got to USA everything was so different and it was very hard to find the herbs that we are accustom to using in Vietnam. Therefore, we started our own little garden with the hope that we can share our wonderful and healthy herbs with everyone.
