Master Nature, skillfully playing with various colors and shades, creates incredibly beautiful compositions that you want to repeat in your own garden. When creating a future pictorial masterpiece, the main bet can be placed on the color violet, which conveys emotionality, great sensitivity, high spirituality and is optimal for meditation and contemplation.

This “cold” color is ideal for dreamy people who carry their fantasies far beyond the limits of the possible; this favorite color of intellectuals and harmoniously developed people has a positive effect on brain activity.

Purple color: meaning

The color purple, located in the color palette between red and blue, is associated with mysticism in various countries. It is considered a symbol of the night, which hides many secrets and mysteries under the cover of stars. Purple flowers planted in garden beds look rich and rich; admiring them brings peace, tranquility and pleasure. In nature there is a fairly wide range of flowers with purple colors, so choosing plants that will harmoniously replace each other throughout the season and harmoniously color the garden with purple colors is not difficult.

Everyone's favorite lilac

First of all, when you mention purple, a gorgeous bush of fragrant lilac appears in your thoughts - the primary crop of all parks and gardens, characterized by colorful large inflorescences and speaking of the arrival of spring with its warm days.
The Twilight lilac variety will decorate any garden with purple-violet buds on tall bushes (about 4 meters), dark green leaves and a sparse spreading crown. The heady strong aroma will enchant you on spring evenings, and the luxurious flowering will delight you for about 3 weeks. Lilac varieties such as “Danton”, “Maksimovich”, “Mulatto”, “Lady Lindsay”, “President Poincaré”, “Charles Joly”, “Raj Kapoor” will decorate any garden because they have gorgeous purple flowers.

The photo conveys all the beauty of these gorgeous shrubs, loved by many gardeners.

Crocuses - the purple charm of spring

Beautiful crocuses, whose goblet-shaped flowers “scream” about the arrival of the long-awaited spring, will speed up the passing of winter with splashes of purple paint against the background of melting snow. Reproduction of such beauty is not particularly difficult and consists of separating the children from the mother plant, which in a year will delight with the first flowering. To create an original composition, purple flowers are recommended, the names of which are given below:

You can dilute a monogamous landscape with the colors of the sun using the Violet Queen variety, whose yellow-violet flowers will add freshness, brightness and contrast to the composition.

Irises are the decorative basis of any flower garden

Fading crocuses can quite harmoniously replace everyone's favorite and widely cultivated irises (otherwise known as iridodictium reticulum). This flower has a large number of varieties, which are enough to create a chic flower garden exclusively from irises. The noble plant is characterized by the graceful shape of large flowers, consisting of three (sometimes six) petal perianth lobes. The internal and external lobes of the crop, which blooms in May-June, are different in shape, color and size. The sword-shaped iris, which has a beautiful purple flower and is characterized by late flowering, stands out for its original beauty. It is also called Japanese iris, since it was in Japan that most varieties of bearded irises were bred. The Socerez Triumph variety has an unusual color: almost blue petals, as if shrouded in a purple web, on top of which the careless artist applied more strokes of yellow.

The following varieties diversify the flower garden with purple colors:

Russian iris, characterized by medium-sized fragrant flowers. This variety is low-growing and suitable for growing on rocky areas.
Siberian iris. The height of a fairly hardy flower is approximately 1 meter. Narrow-linear light green leaves and the absence of a beard on the outer perianth lobes are the main characteristics of this species.
Winners Sackl. Characterized by abundant annual flowering, this variety stands out from the rest with dark purple flowers (photo) with a white spot under a blue beard.
Merion Maid is a solid light blue variety with some hint of purple and a bright yellow beard. Its large flowers look original both in a flower bed and in a bouquet.

Hyacinth is an indispensable component of the purple palette

When it comes to flowers that add a splash of color to garden beds, it is worth mentioning purple flowers, whose names translated from Greek mean “flowers of rain.” These are hyacinths. Strong, luxurious, dense inflorescences captivate with their pleasant aroma, delicate beauty and rich color palette, in which purple is effectively represented.

These are varieties such as “Blue Jacket” and “Ostara”, which have a blue-violet color; “Peter Stuycent” is characterized by a blue-lilac hue; "Woodstock" and "Maria" are dark purple varieties, "Bismarck" is a light purple flower, and "Miss Saigon" is a purple-red flower.

This unusual purple tulip

Tulips continue the purple wave of flowering, in particular varieties such as 'Traveler', with its beautiful rich purple hue, 'Chanson', characterized by dark blue-violet goblet flowers edged with a white contrasting border. The “Alibi” variety, characterized by a light purple color, and the dark violet, almost black with white edging, “Jackpot”. The lily-purple flower “Burgundy” and the purple variety “Ballad” with a white border will stand out for their original color in a well-arranged flower arrangement. "Porple Dream" diversifies this purple collage by adding a red tint.

Decorative onions bloom with purple flowers, various varieties of which can be used as a worthy decoration for any flower bed. These are Aflatun onion, Karatav onion, giant onion, Christoph onion.

Purple gladioli in the garden

Gladioli are the decoration of any flower bed. Purple flowers have varieties such as “Joseph Gyulot”, “Peregrina blue-violet”, “True Bru”, “Blauer Triumphant”, “Bl. Admiral", "Vaichenblau", "Othello". The “Aida” variety stands out with dark purple flowers and red inside. Violet-blue flowers of the Blyau Shengayt variety add variety to any flower arrangement. The “Pearl Flora” variety has rich dark purple flowers, which will look very harmonious next to the “Belladonna” variety, whose pink-lilac flowers will only decorate the composition.

Clematis - the basis of a vertical composition

An indispensable attribute of a vertical garden are climbing plants, many of which boast purple flowers. Violet clematis and Jacquemin's clematis are characterized by abundant flowering. Such a purple hedge with light stripes that border clematis flowers will brightly decorate the garden, bringing it to life to the fullest. The clematis variety "Luther Burbank", planted on the outside of the garden composition and blooming with large purple flowers, will catch the admiring glance of more than one passerby.

The variety “Minister”, whose flowers are also decorated with a purple-violet stripe, can add a blue tint to the purple composition.

Wisteria - purple beauty

One of the key components for vertical gardening is wisteria - a perennial plant that brings true joy to connoisseurs of beauty with its beauty. Growing up to 18 meters in height, the flower is characterized by drooping vine branches and leaves up to 30 cm long. The purple representative, the “Multiyuga” variety, is distinguished by large flowers collected in large inflorescences up to 30-50 cm in length, and is characterized by strong growth and bright flowering.

Oxalis - an indoor miracle

Indoor compositions can be “violet” by a plant such as wood sorrel, called “clover of happiness” in Europe. According to legends, it attracts good luck to the house in which it grows. In this case, the following condition must be met: the wood sorrel must change its owner on the last day of the outgoing year. Therefore, on New Year's Eve, this plant with purple leaves is considered the best gift. It is the oxalis trefoil, symbolizing the Holy Trinity, that is the national symbol of Ireland, depicted on its coat of arms.

A characteristic feature of this unusual indoor plant is the folding and lowering of its leaves at nightfall or in cloudy weather. At the same time, it seems that the flower with purple leaves has turned into a flock of butterflies; This is why wood sorrel is also called “Madame Butterfly” and “butterfly flower”.

Zebrina is a houseplant characterized by oval leaves with a shiny surface, multi-colored at the top and purple underneath.

The violet-white flowers of the common violet will decorate any room in which it grows. This fabulously beautiful plant delights with its variety of shapes and shades. Violet is used for indoor growing. She also feels great in open ground, especially comfortable in the shade of trees.

Nature has not endowed some home and garden flowers with the ability to accumulate chlorophyll, which gives stems and leaves their usual green color. Instead, the lion's share in the structure of cells is occupied by anthocyanins - plant glycosides, due to which the leaves turn red or purple. There are many such amazing plants: some have an unusual color on only one side of the leaves, others have spots, stripes or a pattern along the edge of the leaf, and for others, purple is the dominant color. Among indoor crops with spectacular foliage, you can find both unpretentious ones, capable of growing in almost any conditions, and rather capricious ones to care for, requiring compliance with certain climatic conditions.

Ginura

Translated from Greek, the name of the flower means “woman with a tail.” This fast-growing crop is grown as a hanging plant: shoots up to 50 cm long with alternate carved leaves hang beautifully from a hanging basket or flowerpot. The surface of the leaves and stems is covered with numerous small violet hairs, due to which the entire ginura bush looks deep purple.

Of the fifty natural species, only one is grown indoors - orange ginura. In the warm season, it blooms with small flowers of a rich yellow-orange hue. However, not everyone likes their smell, so it is recommended to pick off the emerging buds. Abundant flowering is most often a sign that the plant has reached maturity and is preparing to die. By this time, it usually grows and significantly loses its decorative effect - it stretches out, turns pale, its lower leaves fall off, and its stems become bare. But this is not scary, you need to cut the apical cuttings 7-8 cm long and root them in any substrate.

Ginura is one of the most unpretentious plants, but for successful growth and development it needs to be provided with bright lighting and long daylight hours. If the flower lacks light, its hairs will lose their purple color and the velvety leaves will turn dark green. If this happens, it is enough to move the ginura to where it will receive a small amount of direct sunlight. After 10-15 days, its leaves will acquire a rich purple hue.

Rules for caring for ginura.

Air temperature	16...+24 °C throughout the year
Lighting	Bright or moderate. In the autumn-winter period, if the room temperature is above +13...+15 °C, it is necessary to maintain a daylight hours of 10-12 hours using fluorescent or LED lamps
Air humidity	Doesn't play a special role. When spraying, do not allow drops of water to fall on the “fluffy” leaves, otherwise unsightly brown spots may appear on them.
	Abundant in summer and moderate in winter. Ginura does not tolerate drying out of the earthen ball in a pot, but after watering it quickly recovers
Top dressing	From March to October every 2 weeks, in winter – once a month
Transfer	Every year in the spring. It is better not to replant specimens older than 2 years, but to rejuvenate them.
	Any loose with a neutral acidity level. It is preferable to use a mixture of equal parts of leaf soil, turf and sand.
Reproduction	By apical cuttings at any time of the year.

The purple leaves of ginura will look great against the backdrop of a brightly lit window or in combination with the light green foliage of other decorative indoor plants. To highlight the beauty of the flower, it is recommended to pinch it regularly to stimulate the growth of side shoots.

Zebrina

Hanging zebrina is another flower with purple leaves. True, only the lower part of the leaves has a rich purple hue. The combination of unusual coloring with silver-green stripes running along the leaf blades gives the flower a special decorative appearance. Zebrina, like most Tradescantia to which it belongs, is distinguished by its unpretentious nature and rapid growth. It can be used as an ampelous or ground cover plant.

Hanging zebrina is a practically indestructible plant, one can only envy its vitality: when the nodal points come into contact with the soil, roots appear very quickly, and just as easily the cuttings take root in water or any substrate. Zebrina can be safely recommended to beginners, as it is easy to care for and easily adapts to any room conditions.

Air temperature	16...+24°С throughout the year
Lighting	Zebrina can grow in a shaded area, but the undersides of the leaves will turn pale and green. For normal growth and maintenance of decorativeness, the plant requires bright lighting with some direct sunlight. In winter, when growing in warm climates, it is advisable to provide additional lighting.
Air humidity	Doesn’t matter - the flower tolerates the dry air of apartments very well.
	Abundant after the top layer of soil dries 1.5-2 cm. Overmoistening the earthen clod is unacceptable, otherwise the leaves will dry out
Top dressing
Transfer	Every year in the spring. It is advisable to replace 2-3 year old specimens with young ones grown from rooted apical cuttings

Reproduction	Apical cuttings - they take root well in water at any time of the year.

Zebrina loses its attractiveness with age, so it is advisable to rejuvenate it every year: cut off the tops of the shoots and root in water or a pot with nutritious soil. In this case, at least 5-10 cuttings should be planted in one flowerpot at the same time. After 4-6 weeks, the young zebrina will have grown and will be ready to take the place of the mother bush.

Zebrina hanging

Reo

The rheo flower belongs to the Tradescantia genus, although until recently it was classified as a separate monotypic genus. The plant is named after the female creature of the same name - the nymph Reo, so the species name correctly sounds like Reo tepalsata. In addition to the official name, you can also find others: Rook of Moses, Reo variegated or Tradescantia variegated. They best characterize the general appearance of the plant:

When the rheo blooms, small white flowers appear in a box of boat-shaped bracts.
The leaf plates below are colored crimson-violet, the saturation of which varies depending on the amount of sunlight reaching the flower.
The upper side of the long leaves can be solid green or variegated in color, consisting of longitudinal white and green stripes.

The stem of the reo is fleshy and erect, but in side lighting the heavy shoots bend to the side and hang, giving the bush an arbitrary shape. The height of the stems of an adult plant reaches 50 cm. As they grow, the lower leaves die off and expose part of the stem, which is why the erect shoots resemble miniature palm trees. Like all tradescantia, reo grows quite rapidly, filling a capacious flowerpot with rhizomatous shoots in 1-2 years. Caring for the plant is simple.

Air temperature
Lighting	Reo is photophilous, so the lighting should be bright, but without direct sunlight. With a lack of light, the leaves turn pale and the bright purple color disappears
Air humidity	The plant is undemanding to humidity, but the air in the apartment should not be dry. Periodic spraying with settled soft water is useful.
	Regular, but not too abundant - the soil in the pot should always be slightly moist
Top dressing	From March to October every 2-3 weeks, in winter - once a month
Transfer	Young plants must be replanted annually in the spring. Adult specimens that have reached impressive sizes - every 3 years
	Any for indoor decorative foliage crops
Reproduction	By apical cuttings, dividing the bush and seeds. With the seed method, varietal qualities (colored leaves) are lost.

Reo not only has an attractive appearance, she is able to improve the lives and relationships of household members: drive away grievances and lift spirits, set them in a positive mood and protect them from bad deeds, find and implement new creative ideas, find happiness and harmony.

Oxalis

Unlike the above-mentioned house flowers, all the beauty of which lies in the attractive foliage, oxalis is both an ornamental foliage and a beautifully flowering plant. The perennial genus includes varieties with green, burgundy and purple leaves that, under favorable conditions, produce soft pink flowers that rise gracefully above the foliage from spring to fall.

Amateur flower growers rarely use the official name of the plant; you can often hear other “nicknames” from them:

Oxalis - oxalis leaves have a sour taste due to the high content of oxalic and malic acid.
Butterfly flower or Madame Butterfly - triangular leaves, when spread, resemble the wings of fluttering moths.
Day-night - the plant reacts to lighting: at night it folds its leaf lobes, and with the onset of morning it lifts them up.

Oxalis leaves fold into a triangle not only at night, but also in cloudy weather or from mechanical irritation caused by touch or slight shaking.

In general, sorrel is unpretentious, but you need to take into account some growing features.

Air temperature	In summer +18...+25 °С, in winter +12...+18 °С
Lighting	Diffuse light with protection from direct sunlight
Air humidity
	Moderate and frequent to keep the soil slightly moist. It is preferable to water the oxalis in a tray and use purified water with a minimum amount of lime compounds. In winter, you should water much less frequently, as the plant enters a dormant period at this time.
Top dressing	From March to October every 2-3 weeks with phosphorus fertilizer, do not feed in winter
Transfer	Replant as the bush grows, choosing spring or early summer for planting
	Universal for indoor plants
Reproduction	Dividing the bush

When growing Madame Butterfly, you should remember that with the beginning of autumn, the flower stops producing new leaves and enters a dormant period. This behavior should not be a cause for concern, but a signal to change the living conditions: lowering the air temperature and reducing watering. With the arrival of spring, when new leaves appear from the ground, you can return to your previous care schedule.

Irezine

Irezine is a genus of spectacular ornamental deciduous plants with red-violet leaves, among which there are indoor and garden forms. These are low-growing or climbing plants, reaching a height of 50-60 cm. Irezine leaves are round or elliptical, and with sufficient light they are colored a rich red-purple color. If the plant cannot receive the required amount of light, its shoots will stretch out and turn pale, which will significantly reduce the decorativeness of the flower.

When growing irezine, you should remember some care features.

Air temperature	In summer +16...+26 °С, in winter +16...+20 °С. In the summer heat, when the thermometer rises above +30 °C, the leaves may lose their elasticity
Lighting	Diffused light with protection from direct sunlight. The optimal duration of daylight hours is 15 hours, so in winter it is important to use lamps with fluorescent or LED lamps
Air humidity	Frequent spraying with settled soft water is useful.
	Use soft, settled water as the top layer of soil in the pot dries. In winter, when the contents are cool, the irezine should be watered less frequently, but the earth clod should not be allowed to dry out completely.
Top dressing	From March to October every 10-15 days, in winter once a month with a half dose of fertilizer
Transfer	In open ground conditions it is cultivated as an annual. When growing in an apartment, it is necessary to replant after the plant in the pot becomes crowded. Optimal time: spring
	Universal for indoor decorative foliage plants
Reproduction	By apical cuttings by rooting in water or wet sand

The irezine bush will be more lush and attractive if the tops of the shoots are regularly pinched or trimmed. Removing the growing point will result in the formation of numerous side shoots.

Poinsettia

Poinsettia is rightfully considered one of the most beautiful indoor plants. It is customary to sell it on the eve of the New Year holidays, since it is at this time that bright red bracts appear on the bushes - modified leaves surrounding small, inconspicuous flowers. Traditional poinsettia varieties have bright red or burgundy bracts, although varieties have already been bred in which they are white, yellow, peach, pink and even bicolor.

In flower shops, poinsettia is often sold under the name Christmas or Star of Bethlehem. This is due to the fact that the spectacular flowering coincides with the New Year and Christmas holidays: in the USA alone, the number of sales at this time of year is about 100 million copies. It was from there that the tradition of giving a bush with a red “flower” came to us for the New Year.

Poinsettia cannot be called an easy-to-care plant: it is very light-loving, requires regular spraying, and does not tolerate excessive waterlogging, drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Air temperature	18...+25 °С, during flowering period (winter) +14...+16 °С
Lighting	Bright with enough sunlight. In summer it is useful to display the flower in the open air - a balcony or loggia
Air humidity	Frequent spraying with settled soft water is required
	Before flowering – frequent, after flowering – rare
Top dressing	From March to October 2 times a month at regular intervals
	After flowering, the shoots must be cut short, leaving no more than 10 cm from the ground level.
	Slightly acidic soil mixture of clay-turf, leaf and turf soil with sand in a ratio of 3:2:1:1
Reproduction	For apical cuttings: in spring or early summer, they should be kept in warm water so that the milky juice flows out, then the cuts should be air-dried and planted in a mixture of equal parts of peat and sand.

It is very difficult to wait for re-blooming at home, so the Christmas star is usually grown as an annual plant and thrown away after flowering.

In botanical literature, poinsettia is called the most beautiful euphorbia. Like all euphorbias, the plant secretes milky sap, but it does not pose a danger to humans and animals. Poinsettia juice, if it gets on your hands, can cause mild irritation only in people with hypersensitive skin.

Begonia royal

Among the numerous forms of begonias, there are varieties with unusual leaf colors - royal, Mason, their varieties and hybrids. Leaf begonias are grown specifically for their spectacularly colored foliage. Today, many varieties have been developed with large green, silver, pink, burgundy, purple and multi-colored leaves. The creative union of nature and man created forms with intricate patterns, borders, spots, strokes and veins that decorate the surface of the leaf plates. The leaves reach 15 cm in length, and their shape is always asymmetrical. The surface of the shoots and leaves is covered with light fluff - short and thick hairs, due to which they appear velvety.

Leaf begonias are quite whimsical and require certain conditions.

Air temperature	21...+26 °C during the day and +18...+20 °C at night. The daily temperature difference should not exceed 5-6 degrees. In the warm season, it is useful to take them out into the fresh air, provided that the outside temperature is within acceptable limits
Lighting	Bright diffused light with some sun in the morning or evening. To avoid pulling the bush to one side, you need to rotate the pot around its axis 45 degrees weekly.
Air humidity	Frequent spraying with settled soft water is necessary. Do not allow drops to fall on the leaves.
	Soft (preferably boiled or filtered) water after the top layer of soil in the flowerpot has dried
Top dressing	From March to October 2 times a month with complex mineral fertilizer
Transfer	Every year in early spring
	A slightly acidic soil mixture of leaf soil, peat and sand (vermiculite), taken in a ratio of 2:1:1
Reproduction	By dividing rhizomes, leaf cuttings, fragments of leaf blades in conditions of high humidity

Some varieties of begonias shed their leaves for the winter and enter a dormant state. Having noticed this behavior of the flower, it is necessary to remove the dried leaves, dry the soil and place the plant in a plastic bag. After 6-10 weeks, when the begonia resumes its growth, you can return to your previous care schedule.

Conclusion

The presented indoor plants with red or purple leaves do not have attractive flowering, but their unusually colored foliage is quite decorative. All of the listed varieties have a common feature: the amount of coloring pigment produced by plant cells directly depends on the lighting (the longer the daylight hours, the brighter the color of the leaves). Otherwise, the growing rules are different.

In the spring, here and there, lilac splashes “flare up”, scattered in different corners of the garden - irises, violets, columbine, pansies. From them you can create wonderful monochrome compositions by selecting plants for the support group of the heroine of the season - lilac, whose flower clouds are sometimes stormy purple, sometimes deep purple, purple, bluish, pink...

Everyone's favorite shrub is often planted near or behind a fence. For most garden plants, the roadside is a zone of extreme conditions. Just to survive, there’s no time for flowers! But there are also pleasant exceptions.

First of all, these are irises, with their rich range of shades ideally “supporting” the lilac clouds from the ground. On poor, compacted soil and even on gravelly soil, they often bloom and look much better than their counterparts, “fatten” in the rich and wetter soil in the garden on the other side of the fence.

In spartan conditions, without watering, without excess nitrogen fertilizers, without neighboring flowers casting a shadow, irises decrease in size, form short, strong peduncles, but the flowers do not become smaller. They are as large as in a regular flower garden.

In the sun on poor soil, decorative lilac onions will also perform excellently. It is certainly good in the garden too. However, here, along with the spectacular fireworks that are shot by the tall flower arrows of this rather large plant, its shortcomings are also striking - early fading long leaves. There are fewer complaints about the flowers behind the fence, and the lilac onion salute rising above the yellowing foliage from a distance is not at all

Confuses the look. If you still want to disguise the leaves drying out at the height of flowering, then the foreground can be filled, for example, with blue long-rhizome cornflower. This aggressor is not allowed into the noble garden, rightly fearing that it will choke out more demanding garden crops. Behind the fence, an overgrown clump after flowering can be immediately mowed with a trimmer. As for onions, in poor soil without watering they do not bother with an abundance of children. Abundant self-seeding is also not dangerous here, so there is no need to cut off the balloons after flowering. The onion salute simply changes color: lilac-lilac gives way to green, and later to straw, and the textured hedgehog arrows delight the eye until autumn.

Closer to the blue part of the spectrum, the flowers of Camassia Leuchtlina are an unpretentious bulbous perennial, which, thanks to its spectacular appearance, can become the main decoration of a flower garden in the garden. Unfortunately, camassia blooms for only two weeks, but this time coincides very well with the flowering periods of lilacs and onions. Once every 5-6 years, nests of bulbs are planted at intervals of 10-15 cm.

In the lupine color palette, light pink shades are added to lilac, violet and blue tones, enriching the lilac range with light romantic chords. After flowering, the trimmer will return the lupine clumps to a neat appearance. New leaves grow very quickly, remaining decorative until the end of the season.

Lupine does not need special care from the gardener and even often runs wild in abandoned areas and along roads, and sometimes “runs away” to the meadow behind the village.

A prerequisite for the plants listed above is sun. Of course, on the northern side, there is no point in “persuading” irises and a group of similar sun lovers to bloom. Other plants will help out here - night violet, aquilegia, cyanosis. They prefer moister soil and grow well in partial shade. This does not mean that they will not survive in the sun; under its rays they can bloom even more luxuriantly, but in this case, watering will be required during drought, while in the shade the soil naturally retains moisture.

Night violet, or matron's noctule, is an unpretentious herbaceous perennial with lilac, lilac and violet flowers fragrant in the evening on erect peduncles up to 80 cm tall. There is also a variety with white flowers. In terms of color, night violet is an ideal complement to lilac, both ordinary and Hungarian. By cutting off fading flower stalks, we prolong flowering until August.

If after flowering you forget about the violet behind the fence, it self-sows and “builds” a retinue of its numerous descendants around the lilac, forming a light accompaniment for a luxurious lilac symphony from year to year. In gardens, night violets often suffer the same fate as decorative onions.

Fans of radishes, arugula and cabbage expel it from the site, because, being a representative of the same cruciferous family, the noctule plant is affected by the same pests as popular garden crops - cruciferous flea beetles and caterpillars of a beautiful butterfly - cabbage whites. But “under the wing” of lilac bushes, on poorer soil and without watering, the leaves of the night violet grow harder and rougher, which makes them much less attractive to pests.

LEGEND, CHARM

Lilac magic can last in the garden all season. A variety of plants anticipate the flowering of lilacs, starting in early spring. These include lilac crocuses, corydalis, coppice and the similar jeffersonia, fragrant violet, periwinkle and cathode. The lilac color is generously spread across the bushes of many varieties of rhododendrons, including early varieties. Ledebur and R. Daurian and late hybrids of the river. Katev-binsky. Blue, blue and violet hyacinths compete with lilacs in terms of aroma power.

In the summer the baton is picked up.

The color violet does not have an unambiguous description of its effect on humans due to its annual bipolarity. There is a certain tradition to consider it the most unusual for perception. Experts in the field of psychology, after conducting certain studies, came to the conclusion that each person reacts to it differently. Including color options for flower buds.

In some countries, the color purple is considered to be a mystical color, making it a symbol of the night, under whose auspices many inexplicable things happen. Some people compare it to the air, which has tropical notes in it. Intellectuals and those who are partial to secrets and travel love this color. But again, psychologists say that it is impossible to determine exactly what types of people are fans of this shade.

Those who love this color and gardening can try to enhance their flowerbed or garden plot by planting purple flowers.

What does the purple color of flowers mean?

In general, purple flowers mean that a person is admired, they also symbolize charm and friendship. Violet itself is a connecting color; it is capable of reconciling and connecting different people. Therefore, purple flowers will help different personalities find a common language. Purple is the favorite color of poets and royalty, which is why compositions made from flowers of this shade look so regal and unusual.

Purple flowers: names

There are many purple flowers in nature, and if you want them not to disappear from your flowerbed over a long period, then you can make a continuous flowering bed out of them.

Crocus. The bulbous plant, quite common, begins to bloom in early spring. Many varieties of this crop have purple flowers. If you plant several at once on one plot, you will get a very unusual and beautiful combination. By the way, all varieties of crocus develop well and grow both in the shade and in sunny areas. They will take root in any soil without stagnant moisture and do not require special care. They are not afraid of frost and snow, but their flowers open only in sunny weather, and vice versa in cloudy weather: they close their petals tightly. They can grow in one place for up to 5 years, after which it is recommended to transplant them to a new place of growth. They will look great among lawns and stones. They are also used for winter forcing;

Hyacinths - they are called the kings of spring! Translated from Greek, their name translates as “flower of rains,” which is probably due to the rainy period in the place of its origin.

Not all lovers of purple flowers have the opportunity to grow them in their garden, but this can be done in an apartment! There is a houseplant that has purple leaves. At first glance it may seem that this is a very rare species, but in fact this is not the case at all. Purple sorrel or oxalis has these qualities. It can be grown not only inside the house, but also in garden plots. It attracts attention with its leaves, which are painted in a rich purple color.

The flowers of this plant are inconspicuous and small and look very delicate against the background of bright foliage. They can be yellow, white or pink. Oxalis blooms for a long time, and 3-4 flowers bloom at the same time, and then, as they fade, they are replaced by new ones.

In many countries around the world, this plant is considered a symbol that brings happiness to the home. It was even popularly nicknamed the “clover of happiness” and is given as a gift in decorative pots for the New Year. There is such a sign: if on the last day of the outgoing year the wood sorrel changes its owner, then it will definitely bring happiness to the house.

Its leaves look like the wings of a butterfly and can fold if the lighting changes. And the main feature of the sorrel is that it closes the leaves in cloudy weather or at night, and in sunny weather, on the contrary, it opens them to the rays of the sun. Because of this, the place where oxalis grows must be chosen carefully. It should be such that the plant does not burn from the sun's rays, but at the same time it should not be in semi-darkness.

Also, the place should be cool, with diffused light. Regular watering is recommended. In nature, it grows in damp places on the banks of ponds and swamps, as well as in the shade of massive trees. Due to prolonged darkness, oxalis will lose the decorative appearance of its leaves, and bright light will simply burn them.

In general, this plant is unpretentious in terms of care. But there are some varieties that require a dormant period, which often occurs in winter. The above-ground part of the plant dies off for 1-1.5 months, and in the spring new shoots appear. During the rest period, the air temperature in the room should be approximately 12 degrees Celsius, but it is not always possible to maintain it. Due to failure to comply with this condition, sorrel often does not grow for many gardeners.

In summer, oxalis needs regular watering, but without stagnation of water. In autumn, watering should be reduced, and in winter, stopped altogether, keeping the soil slightly moist. In dry weather, the leaves can be sprayed, but it is better to do this with boiled, settled water so that later there are no streaks left on the leaves.

The main advantage of this plant is its resistance to pests. And among the diseases it only exposes to rotting of the root system due to excess moisture.

In nature there is a fairly wide range of flowers with a purple color, and by and large it will not be difficult to choose plants that, replacing each other, will color the garden purple throughout the season.

Very interesting is the Sieber tricolor crocus, which represents three colors at once: light lilac petals and a yellow center with a white edging. The Queen of the Blues crocus is painted in a soft lilac color. But the golden crocus “Prince Claus” is generally distinguished by its white color, on top of which, however, some Artist left carelessly graceful purple strokes. If you mix specimens of different varieties in one flowerbed, you can get a very picturesque composition.
All varieties of crocuses grow and develop well both in the sun and in the shade. They can be equally successfully placed on the edge of a flower garden or in the shade under bushes. Crocuses feel comfortable on any garden soil without stagnant water. They do not require special care. These first harbingers of spring are not afraid of snow or frost, but crocuses open their flowers only on sunny days and close their petals tightly in cold, cloudy weather. They can be grown in one place for 4-5 years, and then it is better to transplant them to another place.
