I'm Seeing Purple
Violet silverleaf is a shrub that is perfect for this desert environment because it needs very little water and loves to grow right in the bright Arizona sun. For that reason, it is used in landscaping pretty much everywhere in this valley. They bloom in the fall with these great purple flowers.
Since fall has arrived, they are blooming like crazy everywhere I look.
Some people let them grow naturally like the photo above and some trim them into hedges or shape them to form a more rounded look. I like them with the natural look.
I'm enjoying seeing these purple flowers everywhere in our city.

I don't remember them from our years in the Valley but they are very pretty.
Beautiful! They're shaped like something that attracts hummingbirds but I wonder if the color is right.
