More Information About Purple/Lavender Foliage Plants
Purple leaved plants are incredibly popular in garden beds, especially when combined with bright flowers or with bright leaved plants like yellow or white. The color of a purple leaf plant can run the spectrum from a nearly black dark purple to a soft pale lavender. Purple foliage can add depth or contrast, highlight borders, or provide color under a tree while providing ground color.
