Re: New Pic...Phillipine Violet

My purple one doesn' t reseed at all, but the white one does very  much.  It 
is a much larger plant, so perhaps my purple is a sport, dwarf,  or a hybrid 
that doesn't seed.  No clue.  One doesn't see the white  one used as much in 
landscaping, perhaps for the reason that it does reseed so  much.   I've had my 
purple one for a number of years, almost a decade,  it is doing well.   
 
Would you like a cutting from the white one??

I have  the purple one, Noreen. It's something of a nuisance here--seeds 
all  around. Not exactly invasive because, if you're diligent and own a  
machete, you can control it. I suspect this is why it's not used in  
local landscaping.

But it is quite pretty and, in spite of myself,  I'm somewhat fond of 
it--so I always allow two or three volunteers  survive. And you are 
quite right about profuse blooming times--right now  we've got several 
masses of purple along the back fence.

I don't  know how long it lives in your area, but here it look pretty 
tatty after  about 3 years.
