Dodonaea viscosa Purpurea 27cm

Dodonaea viscosa 'Purpurea', commonly known as Purple Hop Bush, is a hardy evergreen shrub valued for its striking deep burgundy to purple foliage, especially prominent in cooler weather. It has a dense, upright growth habit and produces small, inconspicuous greenish-yellow flowers in spring, followed by papery, winged seed capsules that add ornamental interest. This drought-tolerant plant thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil. It's ideal for use as a screen, hedge, or feature shrub in low-maintenance landscapes. Once established, it requires minimal watering—typically only during extended dry periods. Best planted in spring or autumn to allow roots to establish before extreme heat or cold.

Size at maturity: 3–4 meters high x 2–3 meters wide.
