- Flowering period: April to July
- Hardiness: fully hardy
The stand out feature of this new cultivar is the flower colour - and as its name suggests, it's a beautifully rich shade of purple. It's also sent out in bud or flower, so it's ready to shine after being planted straight out in the garden. It makes very decorative border edging, and will offer lots of summer colour to patio pots.

When planting in beds and borders, mix some well-rotted organic matter with the excavated soil and firm around the plant. Choose a loam-based compost if growing in pots or containers. Water in well and keep watered during the growing season. Fertilise in spring and deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming. Protect the foliage from slug damage using environmentally friendly slug pellets or beer traps.
