Re: TB: Purple-based foliage


Hi Laurie:
     I have a few "purple based" to add to your database:
Olympic Torch
Night Ruler
Navy Strut
Black Dragon
Indigo Princess
Interpol

That Honky Tonk Blues, which you mentioned already, really "takes the 
cake" when it comes to purple based foliage. 
There are more, and I will have to get back to you.
Do you also want historics? I know Sambucina also has this.  ... and 
many of the "unknowns" from grandma.
