Hi All,
This is perhaps a question for our QLD members but does anyone know what this plant is please. It was given to my step-dad by a Bonsai grower in the Samford Valley, QLD.
It is proliferous self-seeder, is quite happy wet and is happy in dappled light.
Any thoughts? I think it is a lovely accent plant.
Cheers,
Mark

Re: Purple Flowered Accent Plant
I think that looks more like Japanese Violet. It has exploding seed pods and does become a weed. It took quite a few years to get rid of it here.
