Purpurascens means 'becoming purple', apparently, and these flowers, which I grew last year, but which seeded themselves a-plenty this year, have provided a wave of purple for several months now. The best thing about them is that bees adore them - it's guaranteed that when you look at them, bees are buzzing about in and out of the flowers - as the picture shows. They're about 60cm tall; I pinched out the tops when they were about 6cm to stop them being as floppy as last year, but they're still pretty floppy!
