Which is it

Post by Ginger »

Palace Purple or Purple Palace? I bought one a few weeks ago and the tag the nursery had on it said Purple Palace, but I have seen you all refer to it as Palace Purple. Is my tag wrong, or is it one of the names that can go either way?

It is Palace Purple. It was found as a sport of a common green one, in the garden of the Queen Mother in England; hence "Palace" purple. Phyllis

Mine said Palace Purple. Funny how sometimes the suppliers mix up the order of the words in the name. Saw it with a hosta before too. :???:
