Purple Perennials for Every Garden

At TN Nursery, we offer a stunning array of purple perennials that bring bold, elegant color to any landscape. Whether you’re curating a pollinator garden, woodland retreat, or sun-filled border, our collection of native and ornamental varieties thrive with reliability, color depth, and minimal maintenance. Our perennial plants are grown for USDA Zones 3–9, making them ideal for most American gardens.

Why Choose Purple Perennials?

The color purple evokes richness and tranquility in garden design. From lavender tones to deep indigo, purple perennials add dimension to flower beds and attract beneficial pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. They’re also beloved for their long bloom times, excellent drought tolerance, and compatibility with both traditional and modern garden styles.

Top Purple Perennials at TN Nursery

Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea)

A native American wildflower, the Purple Coneflower is a hardy, full-sun perennial known for its vibrant petals and prominent central cone. This medicinal favorite thrives in well-draining soil and offers late summer blooms that support monarchs and bees.

Wild Geranium

For shady woodland areas, Wild Geranium brings soft lavender-pink to purple blooms and spreads gently as a ground cover. Its low maintenance nature and adaptability make it a choice plant for naturalized settings.

Ajuga

This ground-hugging beauty features rich purple foliage with upright blue-violet flower spikes in spring. Ajuga is ideal for borders, edging, or erosion control and thrives in partial shade to full sun.

Blazing Star

This tall, spiky purple perennial stands out in pollinator gardens with its fuzzy, vertical bloom structure. It flourishes in full sun and sandy or loamy soil, making it perfect for dry garden beds or prairie-style landscapes.

Larkspur Delphinium

Larkspur brings tall spires of deep violet-blue flowers to cottage-style gardens. Blooming in early summer, it prefers full sun and consistent moisture but well-drained soil. Pair it with white or pink companions for contrast.

Planting & Growing Tips

Most purple perennials prefer well-drained soil, regular watering during establishment, and full to partial sun. Mulching helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadheading spent flowers encourages continued blooming. Once established, these plants return yearly with minimal care.

Perfect Pairings with Purple

Complement your purple blooms with golden perennials like Goldsturm Rudbeckia, or soft whites like White Trillium. For lush texture, mix with ferns or ornamental grasses to create layers of height and movement.
