Purple Pillar Althea Tree Form

Purple Pillar Althea Tree Form is prized for its naturally slender silhouette and abundant deep purple flowers that bloom through the summer months. Trained into a clean single-trunk form, it delivers height and color without taking up much horizontal space. The bold purple blooms contrast beautifully against dark green foliage, creating a striking vertical accent along walkways, fences, or entryways. At maturity, this althea reaches 10 to 16 feet tall and spreads just 4 to 6 feet wide, making it an excellent solution for narrow beds or modern landscape designs where space is limited.
