세린테 '퍼플'

I'm a total novice and these germinated without any fuss—just followed the packet and had little seedlings within a week and a half. The foliage really is that moody jade-mauve color in person, and it's been holding up beautifully through the cooler nights, giving the border some much-needed life.

Those nodding purple bells are still going strong after six weeks in my garden, and the jade-mauve foliage gives the winter border some much-needed life. Germination was foolproof even for a first-timer like me.

The foliage alone is worth it—those jade and mauve tones create such unexpected contrast in my winter garden. The nodding purple bells are still going strong after a few cooler weeks, and I barely have a green thumb.
