We just had an ice storm in our area two days ago, and there are not any outside plants brave enough yet to venture out for spring.
I started thinking: What could I feature on Floral Friday if nothing is technically blooming? Then I remembered that Pantone announced that
Ultra Violet was their color of the year. I started thinking about all the different purple plants that you can grow in your garden! Beginning this week I will share some of the purple-hued plants I have grown in my garden or ones I have found during garden tours (the garden tour ones are marked).
 |
| Early-blooming crocus. |
 |
| Clematis. |
 |
| Anemone (annual in my area). |
 |
| Alliums (which is also the Perennial Plant of the Year). Also featured is a red Oriental poppy. |
 |
| Bearded iris (found on a garden tour in Guilford, Connecticut along the shoreline). |
 |
| A mixture of purple herbs found on a garden tour, including chives (far right). |
 |
| Butterfly-magnet liatris. |
 |
| Violas! |
 |
| Lilacs. |
 |
| Petunias. |
 |
| Fuchsias. |
 |
| Hydrangea. |
What purple-flowering plants do you grow in your garden? I'll share more photos of plants I've grown or discovered next week.
