The Three Hairs

Purple

From last year… Tiarella, known also as Foamflower, this variety is Pink Skyrocket. It looks very much like a pink rocket. According to a few articles I’ve read, it shouldn’t be in flower until March or April. It’s a dainty little thing. Four things to bear in mind… • Protect from excessive winter wet. • Best in shade. • Divide in spring. • Put up a sign warning slugs to stay away. This year, it’s looking miserable. Just goes to show, garden centres have them looking their best in order to sell them. I’ll divide this over the next few days and pop an update here towards the end of March https://www.instagram.com/p/Cosxv8UtBRw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Throughout history, purple robes were worn by royalty and people of authority or high rank. Many believe this to be true because the rare occurrence of purple in nature made it one of the most expensive color dyes to create. The United States Military awards the Purple Heart to soldiers wounded in battle. In Thailand, purple is the color of mourning for widows
