Precious purple blossoms with deeper purple centers and a tiny dot of yellow will carpet your garden in a low-growing blanket of color with this perennial. Purple Beauty offers about a month of profuse and slightly fragrant blooms in late spring to early summer beckoning butterflies and hummingbirds to dance amongst her lovely petals.
When she's done blooming, her mossy foliage stands on its own as a low-lying textural element in your garden. She's recommended in plantings of any size, adapts to a wide range of soil conditions, and with her moderate growth rate, you'll have a gorgeous, colorful carpet in no time.

I started a chat session with customer service shortly after 5 on a Saturday and received 50 plants just a few days later in perfect condition. One of the best customer service experiences that I have ever had.
Unfortunately the plants arrived 3 days late. This was no fault of Classy. Bad weather delayed the shipment. Kevin at Classy was right on it, contacted me and explained if anything needed to be replaced due to this delay it would be addressed. I have planted... Read full review >
Ordered and planted a 30 of these last year. They came in this year very full and robust with a deep rich lavender color. Spreading and filling in much better than I expected for a first year plant. All plants survived a bad Chicago winter. Ordered more this year.
