If you’re going to grow a garden full of vegetables, one gardener asserts that half the fun is in growing items that are not common-place and easily found at the supermarket. The fun is in trying out varieties of things that will seem odd, colorful, and maybe just plain fun to passers by that get to peruse the visual feast of your garden. That said, what could be more visually inspiring then growing lots of purple? Purple vegetables are yummy and they look visually stunning while they are still in your garden. For a rich, stunning purple, it’s hard to beat the Dancer Eggplant. Royal Snow Peas are a deep violet that will make them hard to miss, unlike the greener varieties. Magic Molly Potatoes are small and purple and look like purple sand dollars when you cut them in two. Iko Peppers, Purple Tomatillos and Kohlrabi are more delectable and very purple garden choices for salad lovers, veggie fans and purple aficionados.
Key Takeaways:
- If you want the most eye-popping pop of visual purple for your garden, go for Dancer Eggplant.
- Royal Snow Peas are a lovely, deep violet, which will make them stand out against their green vines in ways that were never the case with the green varieties.
- Purple Haze Carrots, which have an earthy flavor, are a stunning mixture of purple, infused with a dash of intermingling orange.
“If you’re looking to add a little spice to your garden this year, the color purple is a great place to start. There are lots of options for growing this intense color, and it’s the perfect visual complement to all of the green hues in the garden.”
