  • Description

  • Notes

‘Purple Torch’ is a stoloniferous, mat-forming, bugleweed cultivar, with rosettes of oval, shiny, dark green leaves typically form a 3 to 5 inch tall carpet. Spires of lavender-pink flowers appear in spring that rise well above the foliage to 12 inches tall. Foliage turns bronze in winter. When in full flower, large plantings can produce a striking floral display.
