Description

The Princess Flower is a rangy, loosely constructed evergreen shrub with oval, velvety leaves that are 3"-6" in length. Dramatic and elegant, 3" wide royal purple flowers form at the ends of the branches during the warm season. The shrub has very eye-catching flowers. When grown in the warmer valley areas, this plant prefers protection from hot, drying winds.

Water Saving Tip:

Different areas of your landscape have different water requirements.

Shrubs need much less water than lawns and drip systems should never be scheduled on the same program with lawns.

Establish separate watering schedules for those areas.
