Description:
Purple Passion has bright purple blooms with visible yellow stamens. Tapien plants have a spreading habit, and are much more resilient to certain pests, such as powdery mildew, compared to similar plants on the market. Tapien plants are the perfect plant if you wish to roll out a carpet of colour over your garden. Tapien plants are commonly referred to as 'ground covers', so they will grow and spread over the ground, producing additional roots every few centimeters that are crucial in supplying water to all parts of the plant. It's not uncommon to see so many flowers on Tapien plants that the leaves are almost invisible! Tapien plants perform best when exposed to full sun conditions.
