    Details

    Purple Mountains is an exquisite selection of 96 plants that will add a regal touch to your garden with their lofty blooms and stately foliage. Towering perennials like the majestic New York Ironweed (Vernonia noveboracensis) and the striking Hollow Joe-Pye Weed (Eutrochium fistulosum) stand sentinel, creating a dramatic backdrop for the other mid-height wonders. Lavender, pink, and purple hues dominate, echoing the grandeur of alpine peaks at dusk. 

    Note to gardeners: these botanical giants range from 3 to 8 feet tall or more and up to 3 feet wide at maturity, so plan for a space that lets them stretch their roots and reach for the sky!

    Blooms from June to October.
