Purple Heart

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.
