Cotton
Gossypium 'Red Leaf'
Purple ornamental cotton is a showstopper. It bears rich purple heart-shape leaves and delicate hibiscuslike flowers in a soft, creamy pink color. If pollinated, the plant will develop purple cotton bolls filled with white cotton.
_Gossypium_ can be tricky to find in garden centers, but if you do, grab it and give it a try! It's a heat-loving plant that thrives in full sun and rich soil.
