Description

The Purple Passion Plant (Gynura aurantiaca) is native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia, where it thrives in warm, humid, and shaded conditions. It's often called the "velvet plant" because the signature purple color isn't actually in the leaf itself; but comes from thousands of tiny, soft, deep-violet hairs (setae) covering the green foliage. When light hits these hairs, they create a shimmering, iridescent glow that makes the plant look almost electrified.

Find a home for this beauty in moderate to bright light and provide moderate, consistent moisture and humidity; similar to orchid care. Too much light can cause burn on leaf tips.

Each plant is rooted and shipped in a 4-inch grower nursery pot.

  • Zone: 9-11 or Indoors
  • Height: Up To 2 ft.
  • Spread: Up to 2 ft.
  • Sunlight: Bright to moderate indirect light
  • Water: Consistent moderate moisture

Healthy, flourishing and purple!

The plants arrived healthy and from the get-go have been absolutely flourishing. They are growing like crazy and are in great shape still.
My favorite plant, bar none.

Gynura purple plant

Didn't arrive promptly, package was messy and one of the three plants could have been in better condition. They all needed water immediately due to length of time they took to arrive..Have had then fir a few weeks and they are still alive and thriving. Wonderful what a green thum, good soil and vitamin can do to bring plants back to life.
