Name 10 Purple flowers growing in your garden
Purple would have to be one of the most common flower colours growing in most gardens. Shades of violet, mauve and lilac can make up a large part of our garden colour scheme.
So, as to start a meme - or you can comment here - name 10 purple flowers that are currently blooming in your garden or that will over the next few months.
Here's my ten;
- Hydrangeas
- Tibouchina "Jazzie"
- Lavatera Tree Mallow
- English Lavender
- Alyogyne Hueglii - Native Tree Hibiscus
- Agapanthus - that have just finished blooming recently
- Native Violets
- Buddleia Davidii
- Hellebores
- Borage
If you have another colour that's prevalent in your flower garden, try creating a similar list with that colour.
