philippine violet mulch - a photo on Flickriver

Barleria cristata

This area along the northern fence (near the main butterfly garden) was covered with cape honeysuckle the last few years. It was knocked back to the ground by the winter freezes and was growing wildly into the iris bed that you see here. We wanted something colorful along the fence here and didn't want the hassle of another aggressive vine...the philippine violet fits the bill. It grows straight up and reaches 4-5 feet in height and is drought tolerant. It's really a zone 10 plant but recovers quickly after a frost. It's also somewhat invasive (a prolific reseeder) but very easy to pull from the ground. It's a gorgeous purple bloomer in the fall.
