Purple New Zealand Burr

Purple New Zealand Burr

A plant that every Jimi Hendrix fan should have in their garden! The Purple New Zealand Burr’s foliage is so vividly purple you might question what was in that sugar cube you put in your coffee this morning. Mulch annually with a bit of compost and keep well-watered in the summer and you will have yourself a ground cover as bold as love!
