Perfect for windowsills, desktops, or mixed planters, it’s a low-maintenance perennial that offers year-round visual interest with minimal care.

Key Features
• Iconic Purple Foliage: Rich deep purple trifoliate leaves that open like butterflies by day and close at night, adding lively movement to your space.
• Delicate, Long-Lasting Blooms: Soft lilac five-petaled flowers bloom continuously from spring to autumn, creating a lovely contrast against the vivid foliage.

• Easy-to-Grow Perennial Bulbs: Hardy bulbs multiply readily and return year after year with minimal care, making them a rewarding, long-lasting addition to your collection.

Growing Instructions
• Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light. Ample light enhances the vibrant purple leaf color; tolerates partial shade but avoid harsh midday sun in summer, which can scorch foliage.
• Temperature & Climate: Thrives in mild temperatures of 15–28°C. Protect from frost and keep above 10°C in winter.
• Watering: Allow the top 1 cm of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent bulb rot. Reduce watering significantly during summer dormancy, and keep soil slightly moist in winter.
• Soil & Planting: Plant bulbs in well-draining, loose potting mix. Plant in spring (February–May) for fastest germination and growth.
• Fertilization: Feed with diluted liquid fertilizer once a month during the active growing season (spring to autumn). Discontinue fertilizing during dormancy periods.
