Notes

'Purple Passion' velvet plant (Gynura aurantiaca 'Purple Passion') is a perennial for containers. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun and average moisture. It is evergreen, so it gives you leaves all year. Blooms appear in early to late autumn and again in early to late winter.

Pairs well with Snake plant, String of turtles, and Marble Queen pothos.
