The Burgundy Beauty That Means Business
Looking for a shrub with serious style and zero drama? Purple Hopseed is your garden’s no-fuss fashionista — dressed in deep wine-purple foliage year-round and always ready to turn heads. Whether used as a privacy hedge, modern accent, or drought-tolerant backdrop, this beauty brings bold color and architectural flair without ever asking for much in return.
Upright and fast-growing, it can reach 10–15 feet tall (or kept smaller with pruning), with a clean, narrow habit that makes it perfect for tight spaces or vertical interest.
Hardy in USDA Zones 8–11, it’s a desert-friendly favorite that thrives in heat, sun, and poor soil. Bonus: the wind-resistant structure makes it a great choice for breezy spots and urban edges.
Purple Hopseed
Plant in full sun for best color. Water moderately to establish, then only occasionally — it’s quite drought-tolerant. Prune to shape in late winter or after a growth flush. Pest- and deer-resistant, with zero attitude and year-round color — Purple Hopseed is proof that low-maintenance doesn’t mean boring.
