Prunella ‘Bella Purple’

Common Name:
Bella Purple Prunella

Description:
Prunella ‘Bella Purple’ is a hardy, ground-hugging perennial celebrated for its vivid purple flower spikes and ability to thrive in a wide range of garden conditions. Flowering prolifically from late spring through to early autumn, this variety forms a dense mat of deep green foliage topped with clusters of tubular, rich violet-purple blooms that attract bees and other pollinators in abundance. Its compact, spreading habit makes it ideal for edging pathways, filling gaps between pavers, or mass planting as a living mulch. Well-suited to Melbourne’s climate, ‘Bella Purple’ grows happily in full sun to part shade and tolerates both dry spells and seasonal rains, provided the soil is well-drained. Low maintenance and fast establishing, it’s an excellent choice for gardeners seeking long-lasting colour and reliable ground coverage with minimal fuss.
