Sun Requirements ▾

Part shade to full shade. Plant in filtered light or full shade where the attractive silver foliage remains vibrant. Morning sun is tolerated, but protection from hot afternoon sun helps prevent leaf scorch.

Watering Instructions ▾

Moderate. Keep the soil evenly moist during establishment. Once established, Purple Dragon performs best with consistent moisture but tolerates brief dry periods. Avoid prolonged soggy soil.

Care Tips ▾

Trim plants lightly after the main flowering period to encourage fresh foliage and maintain a dense, tidy appearance. Divide established clumps every three to five years if needed to rejuvenate growth or expand plantings. A moisture meter is a great way to gauge your plant's moisture levels.
