Epilobium coloratum aka Purpleleaf Willowherb

Purpleleaf Willowherb should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Purpleleaf Willowherb loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Purpleleaf Willowherb prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Ploi lacks confirmed information on the toxicity of this plant. If you, a relative, or your pet accidentally consume plant material with unknown toxicity, it's best to consult a medical expert.

New growth will sprout from the top of the Purpleleaf Willowherb as it grows vertically.

Purpleleaf Willowherb’s native range is Eastern N. America - Maine to Ontario, Wisconsin, Nebraska, South Carolina, Tennessee and Kansas.
