Purple Heart, native to Mexico, is a trailing, tender perennial with beautiful silvery, purple stems and violet-purple leaves that are long and oval shaped and produces delicate pink flowers in the spring and summer. It is mainly grown for its foliage as its leaves can reach about 7 inches in length and can reach a height of 1 to 1 ½ feet tall. Purple heart is wonderful for planting in pots or hanging baskets, and also serves very well as a ground cover.
While it is drought tolerant, purple heart grows best with regular water and a balance of full sun and light shade. It grows best in moist soil so water moderately and fertilize monthly. Pinch back to encourage bushiness and cut back flowering stems after blooming.
