Purple butterfly plant (Christia obcordata)

A wonderful and unique plant that is sure to attract attention. Christia gets its common name from its burgundy mauve-like triangular-shaped foliage reminiscent of the “swallowtail.” Also known as “butterfly plant” because the overall shape of the leaf resembles a butterfly wing. Ideal for containers and hanging baskets. Adds a nice pop of color and contrast to mixed container plantings. Bring indoors to a bright window in cold weather.
