Rock 'N Grow® 'Midnight Velvet' is the ultimate garden standout, offering striking dark purple leaves that form a neat, domed habit, creating visual interest from spring onward. In late summer, clusters of mauve buds blanket the plant, gradually unfurling into beautiful rose-red flowers that add a burst of color. After blooming, dark red seedheads remain, creating even more seasonal allure. Leave the seedheads standing for a gorgeous winter display and a valuable food source for birds. Whether you're looking to add drama or support local wildlife, 'Midnight Velvet' is a perfect addition to your garden!
