Gynura aurantiaca ‘Purple Passion’

Gynura aurantiaca makes a really eye-catching houseplant because of its exotic, purple foliage. Known as ‘Purple Passion’, its leaves are iridescent purple. The finely serrated leaves are a great attraction. It has dense tiny purple hairs that catch the light and these also appear on the undersides and stems of this houseplant – giving the whole specimen a velvety sheen.

• It grows into a lush, vigorous plant if positioned in a bright location without direct sunlight.
• It likes high humidity and this can be achieved by standing the plant on a tray of damp gravel or pebbles.
• Water regularly.
