Purple Velvet is a tender annual with deep purple leaves that darken in heat—the kind of foliage plant that makes a statement in a mixed pot or border without needing a single flower. It thrives in our warm season and fills out fast, giving you dense color from May straight through August.

Plant it where you want richness and don't mind the drama. Pair it with silver-leafed companions or bright bloomers that pop against that dark backdrop, or let it stand alone as the focal point.
