Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

Purple Robe is a low-growing, mat forming plant grown in our area as an annual, though technically it is a perennial (it is not winter-hardy). Purple, bell shaped cups bloom mid to late spring; in cooler elevations it may bloom through the summer (bench areas and higher).
