All The Purple Succulents

One of my favorite plants is the purple succulent. You can grow these in your yard as hardy perennials or you can grow them indoors for the summer. They’re beautiful too, with lovely purple, red, blue or green leaves. Many kinds are edible, although I haven’t tried most of them. If you’re looking for a great indoor plant, you should consider either the Iris Orchid or the Pansy orchid.

Purple Saucissi or ‘Saucissi’, as it’s known in Italian, grows well in drier Mediterranean conditions, particularly in limestone soil. It’s named for the purple, red and black bands that run across its leaves. It’s not considered an invasive plant, and it has few natural enemies other than birds. It’s a low-maintenance perennial that’s great for starting seedlings from cuttings or growing from seed.

Purple Coneflower, ‘Coneflower’ as it’s known in German, is another beautiful but not-ideal-for-the-afraid kind of purple succulent. It has purple blooms but rarely produces seeds. It’s not picky about what type of soil it lives in. A great choice for containers, the Coneflower ‘Provence’ will grow up to three feet tall. The main threat to this plant is from birds, especially the greater redbreasted white storks. A very durable and hardy plant, the Purple Coneflower is suitable for indoor use and is very easy to take care of.

Purple Wormwood, ‘Artemisia’, also known as the ‘wormwood,’ comes from a large family of plants called the magnolia species. The genus name comes from the Greek word for wormwood. This species can be used both as a landscape shrub and a ground cover. It has dark purple, gray-green leaves with white spore prints that look a bit like wheat.

Like the purple coneflower, the purple wormwood is an excellent choice for a lot of areas. This versatile flowering plant has a large variety of uses. It’s an ornamental grass for gardens, borders or around a tree. It can be used for hedging, climbing fences or placed in a pot on the floor between plants to give a natural look to the landscape.

The plant’s underground stem can be trained to grow up and outwards toward the light. The purple flowers, which are a single stem with purple petals, are used as an alternative to lemons when preparing homemade lemonade. The large green leaves can be used as an alternative to lettuce for sandwiches or eaten raw.

It’s very similar to a violet creeper, ‘selves a ‘fixed’ plant that produces ‘offspring’ – new shoots that grow from the base upward. The purple bushy plant blooms in the summer and again in the fall. The flowers are trumpet shaped with purple petals and a long pointed base. The purple flowers are usually a foot across. Flowers can be grown alone or attractively planted with other plants, such as lavender, for an eye catching display during the wedding season.

Since it blooms all year round, purple coneflower is considered a hardy and versatile plant. It responds well to frost free environments and is known to grow up to twelve feet tall. Due to the fact that the purple grows up into rocks, it is considered an invasive species and has been taken out of many natural landscapes due to its destructive nature. If you are considering planting this purple conifer, make sure it is placed in a location that does not have much competition.

This plant is a favorite for both the home gardener and landscaper due to its unique beauty and exotic appearance. The purple flowers are usually a foot tall and come in several different shades of purple. These flowers are great for planting in borders and along walkways. The plant is extremely hardy and will grow in most areas. It will need to have heavy feedings to remain healthy and will flower more readily if fertilizers are added on a regular basis.

This purple conifer was once considered to be one of the rarest flowers in the world. The only place it was found was in a mine in Chile. In the past few years, more purple succulents have been introduced to the public. If you would like to grow purple succulents, they are available at most garden centers and nurseries. It is also possible to find them online.

In the late summer, these plants flower profusely. Once the flowers open, their scent is very pleasant. Because of their delicate construction, purple plants are great for starting seedlings and for dividing and transplanting. It is important that they be potted into larger pots as they will not tolerate being moved around. Purple potatoes, purple turnips, purple sweet potatoes, and purple chard are some of the other varieties from which to choose.
