The Purple Passion (Gynura Aurantiaca) is a unique and eye-catching houseplant, known for its striking deep green leaves covered in a soft, velvety purple fuzz. This exotic foliage makes it a stunning addition to any indoor garden, providing a pop of colour and texture. The plant grows as a trailing or upright plant, depending on how it’s pruned, and can reach up to 30–45 cm (12–18 inches) in height.
Purple Passion enjoyed a surge of popularity in the 1970s when its vibrant and unusual appearance made it a favourite among houseplant collectors. Its lush, velvety leaves are beautiful and soft to the touch, making it a tactile delight. With the right care, Purple Passion can thrive in a bright, indirect light environment, maintaining its vibrant colour and compact shape.
Whether displayed in hanging baskets or allowed to cascade over the sides of a pot, the Purple Passion will draw attention with its distinct foliage. It’s perfect for plant enthusiasts looking for something out of the ordinary, especially those who appreciate unusual textures and bold colours.
