Purple Blooms
Purple Rain, Purple Haze, Purple Flowers... Next to yellow, purple always steals the show! Purple is not a monolith though—it ranges from pale lavender to deep violet. These regal hues look especially stunning when drifting through the bronze and copper tones of native grasses in fall, sparkling against goldenrods and rudbeckias to create a prairie jam session fit for Paisley Park.
