Crocus
The flower season opens with beautiful lilac flowers called the first harbingers of spring.
Low-growing bulbous plants up to 10 cm high. Crocuses are planted in the spring sunny places, although they grow almost everywhere, since the period of their growth and flowering occurs at a time when garden plants are just waking up and the shadow from them does not particularly bother them. Sand, humus lime and ash are added to the planting soil.
Crocuses are suitable for winter forcing at home.
The baton of spring flowering is followed by fragrant crocuses.
The uniqueness of hyacinth is that it can be grown both in the garden and at home. Like all bulbous plants, hyacinths are planted in the fall, in sunny, fertile areas. Planting depth should be 15-20 cm. After flowering and the leaves die off, the bulbs are dug up and replanted annually in new places to avoid fungal diseases.
Iris
It is difficult to imagine a garden in late spring without purple irises.
There are several types of irises differing in flower shape and leaf width.:
- bearded irises- named due to the presence of colored hairs on their lower follae, resembling a beard;
- Siberian– unpretentious and frost-resistant, the flower size is smaller than that of the bearded ones and their leaves are narrow and more rigid;
- Japanese– heat-loving and unpretentious, drought-resistant, requiring abundant watering only during the flowering period. They differ from other species in the orchid-shaped flower shape and lack of odor.

The shrub begins to bloom at the age of 3; flowering begins in July and lasts until October, subject to the constant removal of fading inflorescences. Before flowering, nitrogen and organic fertilizers are applied., with the beginning of flowering they switch to phosphorus-potassium fertilizers.
For the winter, the plant needs mandatory shelter.
Catnip, also known as lemon catnip, is a perennial herbaceous plant up to 1 m high. A very moisture-loving plant that prefers sunny areas. When planted in the shade, the plant stretches in height; in the sun it grows in breadth. The plant is frost-resistant and tolerates drought well, but short-term.
A flower whose beauty will take your breath away.
Like all bulbous flowers, the flower is unpretentious in cultivation. When planting, maintain a planting depth equal to 3 times the height of the bulb., further care: watering, fertilizing and removing faded stems.
Gladioli

To ensure long and intense flowering, gladioli need 4 times feeding:
- 1st– nitrogen in the phase of formation of 3-4 leaves;
- 2nd– complex fertilizer in the budding phase;
- 3rd and 4th– phosphorus-potassium at the beginning and during flowering.

Plants with purple leaves have different requirements for placement in the interior and their care. Indoor plants decorate the interior, saturate the air in apartments with oxygen and simply bring aesthetic pleasure to the inhabitants of the apartment. Among the huge number of house plants, there are several that stand out for their unusual leaf color.
Instead of the traditionally familiar green color, you can observe a purple color on the entire leaf blade or part of it. Let's consider the most popular types of flowers, striking in their unusual colors.
Belongs to the Asteraceae family and has about 50 species of lilac and burgundy colors with different names. The carved wavy leaves are covered with small purple hairs that are pleasant to the touch.
Does not require special care, the main conditions for successful cultivation are bright lighting during daylight hours.
If the plant lacks light, the hairs will turn green, which will affect its attractiveness.
With a lack of lighting, the leaves acquire a normal green color.
Basic conditions for proper care:
- loose soil with neutral acidity, consisting of leaf, turf soil and river sand;
- abundant watering as the top layer of soil dries;
- keeping in summer at a temperature of 20-24 degrees;
- V winter time with a lack of natural light temperature drop to 13 degrees, when kept in warmer conditions, additional illumination with fluorescent or phytolamps is mandatory;
- humidity does not matter;
- feeding during the period of active growth every 2 weeks;
- propagation by cuttings occurs easily and quickly.
Every 2 years it is advisable to rejuvenate it - cut the apical cuttings and root. Otherwise, the flower loses its attractiveness - it turns pale and stretches out ugly.
Hemigraphis is a plant with burgundy
Hemirafis belongs to the Acanthus family and has about 100 species. In indoor culture it is grown as an ampelous, herbaceous or ground cover crop. Ovate serrated leaves capable of changing color depending on the amount of light, falling on them.
With sufficient lighting, the color of the leaves becomes purple-metallic; with a lack of sunlight, the leaf blades acquire a reddish-silver tint.
Hemigraphis will delight you with its unusual foliage if the basic care rules are followed:
- bright diffuse lighting(east or west windows are better);
- optimal temperature 20-25 degrees;
- high air humidity(not lower than 50%);
- regular watering as the soil dries out by 1 cm, reducing the frequency of watering in winter;
- regular fertilizing from April to September with fertilizers for decorative deciduous plants;
- annual transplant in wide, shallow pots with a mandatory drainage layer of at least 2 cm;
- soil mixture of turf, leaf soil, humus, vermiculite and crushed pine bark;
- pinching to form a compact bush.
Hemigraphis is easily propagated in the spring by stem cuttings 7-10 cm long. The cuttings are kept for 2 weeks in a glass of boiled water, and after the roots appear, they are planted in a pot.
Irezine is a representative of the Amaranth family. This herbaceous plant can grow up to 60 cm in height at home. The round or elliptical leaves turn red-purple in good light.
Lack of light affects its attractiveness - its shoots turn pale and elongate.
It is not difficult to grow irezine, just follow the basic rules:
- continuous illumination– any windows are suitable, except northern ones;
- when placing on the south side during midday hours it is mandatory shading from scorching rays;
- if there is a lack of natural light, it is advisable to supplement the lighting with lamps so that the total daylight hours are 14 hours;
- air temperature in summer – 15-25 degrees, in winter – 15-20 degrees;
- regular watering after the top layer of soil in the pot dries; in winter, watering is reduced, increasing the interval between them;
- during active growth of fertilizing at least 2 times a month, in winter, fertilizing is allowed once a month;
- when grown as a perennial plant, annual replanting is required;
- For the soil mixture, leaf and turf soil, sand and humus are used in a ratio of 2:2:1:2.
To make the irezine bush more lush and spectacular, its apical shoots need to be pinched. This will stimulate the plant to form new side shoots.
Zebrina is one of the most unpretentious indoor plants, a relative of Tradescantia. Its leaf blades are striped with silver-green and purple stripes. With good lighting, the color of the leaves becomes more saturated; with insufficient light, the purple color fades and gives way to green.
An undemanding zebra will be content with little:
- long-term diffused lighting with protection from direct sunlight;
- fertilizing once every 2-3 weeks (from April to September);
- moderate poly c (if there is excess moisture, the leaves dry out);
- soil mixture of equal parts of leaf and turf soil with the addition of sand.
There is no point in replanting the zebrina - after a year the overgrown bush loses its attractiveness.
It is more advisable to rejuvenate annually: cut off the apical cuttings and root in water or directly in a pot with soil. Zebrina is often compared to a weed - it is so easy to care for.
Reo
Reo is a powerful plant with long narrow leaves, dark green on top with pale stripes, and deep purple below.
Since reo is a close relative of zebrina and tradescantia, caring for it is the same. In favorable conditions, the plant quickly grows into a bush of any shape.
In 1-2 years, reo can fill a wide pot or flowerpot with rhizome shoots. Propagated by cuttings, young shoots or seeds.
Kislitsa
Oxalis, or oxalis, has a unique property - in the dark or in bad weather, the plant folds its trifoliate leaves, which in this form resemble the folded wings of a butterfly. Therefore, oxalis is also called Madame Butterfly or butterfly flower.
When growing sorrel, you need to fulfill the basic care requirements:
- air temperature 20-25 degrees in summer and 12-18 in winter;
- diffused light, protection from direct sunlight;
- abundant watering in summer, symbolic hydration in winter;
- feeding every 2-3 weeks during the period of active growth with a half dose.
Oxalis needs rest in winter.
If the plant “froze” and stopped producing new leaves, it means that a dormant period has begun. At this time, the temperature should be lowered and watering reduced to a minimum. In the spring, with the appearance of new leaves, the plant is returned to its previous growing conditions.
Indoor plants with purple leaves are unpretentious and easy to care for. They have small, unattractive flowers, and all their beauty lies in unusual leaves with spectacular colors.
