Velvet Plant. Purple Velvet Plant, Royal Velvet Plant, Velvet Tree
This showy plant from Java is grown for its handsome velvety 5 inch leaves and stems that are covered in dense purple hairs.

Clusters of tiny, daisy-like, orange-yellow flowers appear in winter. It dislikes extreme heat or cold and needs winter protection below 40F. Plant it as a soft purple accent in a tropical garden bed. USDA zones 10 - 12. It is usually found that its botanical name is given in error to the common trailing house plant "Purple Passion Plant", which is probably a hybrid between Gynura aurantiaca and Gynura procumbens.

(Syn.: Hemigraphis colorata 'Exotica'), Purple Waffle Plant
New! This is commonly called the "Purple Waffle Plant" because of its puckered waffle-like maroon leaves. Grow this colorful plant in hanging baskets, as a filler in containers, or as a ground cover in the tropics. Growing 6 to 9 inches high, it spreads widely as it stems root growing outward. It's best in part shade with moist soil.
