Lophomyrtus ‘Purpurea’

Hardy, evergreen shrubs offering vibrant year-round colour, Lophomyrtus ‘Purpurea’ provides distinctive foliage patterns and strong ornamental value for gardens, patios, and landscaped spaces. Prized for its richly coloured leaves that lean into deep burgundy and purple tones, the foliage shifts subtly through the seasons. This adds incredible depth, contrast, and architectural interest to both modern and traditional planting schemes.

With a compact habit and dense branching, these shrubs work beautifully in mixed borders, patio pots, and contemporary garden displays. Low-maintenance and easy to establish, these large 3L shrubs arrive fully rooted and garden-ready for immediate planting. They perform reliably in full sun or light shade and maintain their strong colour and structure throughout the year, even in challenging weather or coastal settings.
