Purple flowers to grow

For late-summer colour, sow asters; for spikes and haze, salvia and airy verbena; and for scent on long stems, purple sweet peas. Many purple flowers are bee favourites.

Designing with purple

Purple is cool and recedes like blue, adding depth and calm to a border. Pair it with yellow or orange for a rich, contrasting scheme, or with pink and silver for soft harmony. It's a sophisticated choice in any bouquet.

Planning a colour scheme? Here's where to look next.
