It is an evergreen perennial growing up to 30 cm (12 in) tall by 21 cm (8 in) broad, with dark green oval leaves, each leaf having four raised silvery patches (hence the name "aluminium plant"). With a minimum temperature of 15 °C (59 °F), in temperate regions it is cultivated as a houseplant.[1] It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[2][3]
