Purple Heart

Setcreasea pallida

Purple Heart is a colorful perennial known for its rich purple leaves that bring striking contrast and texture to any landscape. Occasional lavender flowers rise above the foliage, adding a soft, decorative touch. Reaching 6 to 12 inches in height and spreading 12 to 18 inches wide, it creates a dense, low-growing mat ideal for groundcover, edging, or container displays. Highly tolerant of heat and drought once established, Purple Heart thrives in full sun to partial shade, offering long-lasting color and minimal maintenance for Texas landscapes.

  • Perennial with bold purple foliage and lavender blooms
  • Low, spreading habit with dense coverage
  • Moderate growth rate
  • Ideal for borders, groundcover, and containers
  • Thrives in beds, borders, and containers

Prefers well-drained soil and grows best in full sun to partial shade. Hardy in USDA zones 8–11, Purple Heart adds vibrant color, texture, and resilience, making it an easy-care, versatile choice for Texas landscapes.
