- I produce a profusion of richly coloured purple flowers during spring and summer
- I am drought hardy and can tolerate light frosts
- I am also suitable for use in pots on a patio
I am a medium sized fast growing rounded native shrub usually producing spectacular deep purple silken-petaled flowers usually from early spring to late autumn however I will flower all year in the right conditions!
I respond well to regular pruning and make a great colourful native hedge.
I do best in full sun but am tolerant of a range of soils provided they are well drained.
My flowers attract bees and beneficial insects.
My Flowers are edible, a great way to add colour when garnishing a salad.
