Purple Queen

Small pink three petaled flowers appear in the leaf axils along the length of the horizontal stems on a daily basis throughout the growing season. While each flower lasts only one day, they are produced in clusters of buds ensuring continuous flower display. This non-hardy perennial will tolerate a few degrees of frost but performs best in warm temperatures, moist soils and partial shade.
