  • Each year, we ask gardeners what their favorite color is, and for many years the color 'purple' is right there at the top! Purple adds a warmth to a garden, and can also help define sections of the landscape--providing a color break from all of the green of other plants. In this video Laura reviews some new, and tried and true purple favorites that you might want to add to your wish list too!
    The plants shown in this video are:
    Red Obelisk Beech tree
    Summerwine Ninebark--pwwin.rs/3QNVgfB
    Black Lace Elderberry--pwwin.rs/3boUghz
    Sunjoy Todo Barberry--pwwin.rs/3HWOWOJ
    Midnight Masquerade Pentstemon--pwwin.rs/3NqN6Xz
    Dressed Up Evening Gown Heuchera--pwwin.rs/3Ooz8XC
    ColorBlaze Newly Noir Coleus--pwwin.rs/3Ooz8XC
    ColorBlaze Wicked Witch Coleus--pwwin.rs/3u1cCf6

    I have one of the weeping beach (not sure the spelling) and it is super beautiful. It is a slow growth tree which I don’t mind it. The color is dark purple from spring through summer. They turn green in the fall which is nice. A tree with character!

    Yes you are right about the coleus flowering. If you allow the coleus to flower then it will often cause the plant to die back. I have grown these plants for 30 years, in both cool climates and now in the subtropics of Australia. They quickly grow into big bushes in the subtropics!😀 🌴🪴🌳🌺😊

    I thoroughly enjoy my Ninebark. The leaves have some green when they are new. Change to a gorgeous color as they age. The white flowers will change to a red berry. I get so many compliments on this shrub.

    In one of your videos you said you cut down your lavender to the ground every fall. The variety you have is different than mine, Hidcote. I’m wondering if I should do the same thing. I’ve always pruned it in the fall but never to the ground and it is quite “woody”. Suggestions???

      Certain types of plants just do not survive the heat of a zone 9, there isn't an option to 'create' one, it is understanding the nature of each variety and the zone they perform best in.
