This is a sprawling perennial shrub with filigreed grayish-white leaves and pinkish-purple small thistle-like flowers in spring through mid-summer. Grows 3 to 4 feet in height and 6 to 8 feet in width. Can be pruned hard after flowering and will quickly regrow. Give full sun and water sparingly. It is drought resistant and will tolerate a wide range of soils. Hardy to 15 to 20F. Native to Italy. USDA zones 8-10.

Gynura aurantiaca
Velvet Plant. Purple Velvet Plant, Royal Velvet Plant, Velvet Tree
|
|
$9.95
|
This showy plant from Java is grown for its handsome velvety 5 inch leaves and stems that are covered in dense purple hairs. Its growth is robust with upright stems that are thick and succulent, growing 3 to 5 feet in height. Its tall stems may need some staking. Best purple leaf color is in bright light on new growth. 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.
