This purple-leaved hybrid has Crinum bulbispermum in its blood, which gives it extra cold hardiness that you don't get with many purple-leaved crinums. It sends up 2-foot-long leaves in spring (it will stay evergreen in frost-free climates). Although not as upright as phormiums, 'Sangria' crinum serves as a superb substitute. Grow it for the foliage alone or for the stunning pink spring flowers.

Daylilies are classic, extremely popular garden plants. They feature long, arching, strappy leaves and long stems of generally 6-petaled flowers, though double flowers are popular as well. Each flower lasts only one day, hence the plant’s common name. Daylilies come in a wide range of colors, from cream and cheery yellow to peach, orange, fiery red, deep burgundy, pink, and purple. Some have contrasting throats and "eye-zones." Daylilies are ideal for a mixed herbaceous perennial border.

This three-foot-tall evergreen shrub bears many tubular, blue or purple, petunia-like flowers on dark stems over a long period. Each flower lasts for just one day. It is a fast grower that may self-seed aggressively. Use in a border, container, or at waterside. Can be grown as an annual in cooler areas.
