Here, we have picked five best purple flowering flowers you can place in your garden or lawn along with other common garden flowers:-
Purple Alliums
If you are looking to add brightness and bounce, there is no better addition than alliums. Alliums are beautiful purple perennials, not only for their color but also for their globular shape. These types of purple flowers are pretty easy to grow and suit almost any spot. Like other spring-flowering plants, alliums need to be planted in the fall. You can pick Allium aflatunense for a taste of purplish pink. Or, choose Globemaster, if you want to flaunt saucy hint of bluish purple.
Lavender
Lavender is not just beautiful; its powerful aroma does wonders to alleviate stress. Its silvery grey plants grow up to 4 feet tall in full sun and feature graceful spires of small purple flowers. For rich purple blooms, choose Munstead, Sarah, or Hidcote Superior.
Jackmanii Clematis
There is an abundance of Clematis’ purple flowering bushes to grow, with blooms from pale mauves to deep purples. Jackmanii is a classic purple perennial, a flowering vine that grows well in hardiness zones three to eight.
One trick to success with this purple flowering plant is growing it in sunlight while keeping the roots cool. You can do this by mulching the root areas or planting the low plants over the root zone. You can look for a professional lawn care service and seek gardening, planting tips from the experts.
Some of the common Clematis’ purple flower names you can try in your home garden are Picardy, Kingfisher, Warszawska, etc.
Purple Lamium
It is perhaps known as the most popular ‘ground cover’ plant with silver-colored foliage whose cultivar Purple dragon gives light purple flowers. Though it is generally known for its foliage, there are several cultivars that add attractive flowers also. It is a good plant for dry shade; you can place them with other shade-loving plants in your garden or balcony. However, it can’t tolerate foot traffic.
May Night Salvia
This purple plant produces tiny, bluish-purple blooms on the flower spikes about 2 feet tall. The tall purple flowers surrounded by sword-shaped leaves are more robust than those ‘Blue Hill’ Salvia. Known for a long blooming time, Salvia is a valuable landscape plant to place in your garden. It is a great choice for cottage gardens, perennial borders, butterfly gardens, or wild gardens.
These are just a handful of purple flowering plants you can try in your lawn, backyard, or home garden, and add a sophisticated look that is sure to attract everyone.
