Collection: 🌿 Lysimachia atropurpurea ‘Beaujolais’
Lysimachia ‘Beaujolais’ is a striking, dramatic cut flower prized for its tall, wine-purple spires and elegant silver-green foliage. The long, tapering flower spikes open from the base upward, creating a rich gradient of burgundy to near-black tones that bring depth and luxury to bouquets. Its airy texture, graceful movement, and moody colour make it a favourite for modern floral designers.
A reliable performer in both garden beds and production rows, ‘Beaujolais’ blooms steadily throughout summer and is especially valued for its excellent vase life and unique form.
