This form of purpurea grows caulescently in a fan-shaped spiraling pattern.  Produces long, soft, slender leaves and a long inflorescence. Purpurea in general is a hardy species that in many regions can be grown in full sun.  It's a good pupper but not a quick grower so over time, it will form a nice clump.  Many argue that purpurea is the most fragrant species out there
