Purple Effect is quite similar to the original My Monet, with the change of flower color and slight change to foliage color. Flowers are plum-purple to pink in color, drawing on the variegated cream and green foliage that will take on shades of purple. This shrub requires little pruning to maintain its dwarf size, and the flowers will sporadically rebloom throughout the season. In addition to attracting many hummingbirds, the flowers may be cut and enjoyed in various floral arrangements.
