Add item to quote to see pricing

Melianthus major 'Purple Haze' is an exotic marvel in the world of shrubbery, commonly known as the Purple Haze Honey Bush. Its distinctive blend of blue-green and deep purple foliage introduces a stirring color dynamic to any landscape, offering a fusion of hues that appeal to the senses across different seasons. The shrub's innate resilience makes it a practical choice, underlining its drought-tolerant nature - perfect for a low-maintenance garden. With a mature size that reaches 6-8 feet in breadth and width, it decorates landscapes with rich red-brown, honey-scented flowers from late winter through spring. Thriving best under the radiance of full sun to partial shade and in well-drained soil, the plant brings about a noteworthy visual drama, offsetting the softer plants or standing out as a show-stopper on its own. It's important to remember that while the Purple Haze Honey Bush is undoubtedly eye-catching, all parts of the plant are toxic if consumed. Hence, the careful placement of the plant in your garden is highly advised.
