Well now, if you ever been wanderin’ ’round the yard, you might’ve seen a little bush with them light green leaves and purple flowers. Ain’t nothin’ quite like it to brighten up a patch of land, especially when the sun’s settin’ low, and them flowers just seem to glow. Let me tell ya, there’s a whole bunch of plants that got that purplish bloom, and some of ’em come with green leaves that almost look like they got a glow to ’em when the light hits just right.
One of the first ones I think of is them lilacs. Oh, you can’t go wrong with a lilac bush. It don’t matter where ya live, them lilacs sure do put on a show come spring. They got them light green leaves, and their flowers? Oh, they ain’t just purple, they’s like a whole array of purples, from light lilac to them deeper shades. Smell so sweet too, it’ll make ya think you’re standin’ right in the middle of heaven itself. Best part, they grow in most any soil, long as ya give ’em a sunny spot. Ain’t too fussy about water, but don’t let ’em dry out too much, you hear?
Now, another one that catches the eye is the butterfly bush, or Buddleja, like them fancy folks call it. Don’t matter if you got a small patch or a big old garden, this bush just seems to grow everywhere. It’s got them long, skinny flowers that look like little wands, all covered in purple blooms. The leaves on this one are more of a dusty green, but still light enough to make them purple flowers pop out at ya. They’s a favorite for them butterflies, hence the name, and once it starts bloommin’, you won’t see the end of them flutterin’ little critters around.
Then there’s the rose of Sharon, that one’s a bit more of a bush but don’t be fooled—it sure does pack a punch with them flowers! It’s got them green leaves that stay light throughout the whole season, and them flowers, well, they range from purples to pinks, sometimes even white. If you’re lookin’ for a hardy bush that don’t mind the heat too much, this one’s a good pick. It’s like the bush that don’t quit, bloom after bloom all through the summer.
And ya can’t forget about that lavender, no sir! Now, lavender don’t exactly come as a bush, but it sure is a favorite with them purple flowers. Them leaves are kinda silvery green, real soft-like. The flowers look like little spikes, and they come in a lovely shade of purple. You can use the flowers for all sorts of things too. I’ve heard folks use ’em in their cooking, and some even say it helps ya sleep better. Ain’t nothing wrong with growin’ a bit of lavender right by your door. It smells nice, and it sure looks pretty when it’s in full bloom.
Now, if you’re after something that will keep bloommin’ late into the season, try yourself a hibiscus bush, also known as rose of Sharon sometimes. These bushes don’t mind the heat one bit and can keep their leaves green even when the summer’s scorchin’. The flowers come in purple, sure, but they also got a bit of pink mixed in sometimes. When they bloom, it’s like a big old show, them flowers so big and bold that they can’t help but steal the spotlight.
If you want somethin’ that’ll last all year, ya might try a verbenas. They’s low-growin’ and their leaves are a light green, just right for fillin’ in the spaces between your other flowers. They bloom in purple, pink, and even a little white, but it’s that deep purple that makes folks stop and look. I hear tell it’s a favorite for them who don’t have much time to fuss with their gardens, ’cause these bushes don’t require too much attention. Just water ‘em right, and they’ll reward ya with them pretty flowers.
And don’t forget about them asters, they got them lovely flowers too, in all sorts of purples. Asters are another good bush for the fall. It’s like a surprise when everything else starts droppin’ leaves, and then here come them asters, still bloommin’ with their purple flowers, as if they just can’t wait for cooler weather. They’s pretty easy to grow too, don’t take a whole lot of work, just give ‘em the right spot and they’ll grow just fine.
