This plant is commonly known as \"purple passion\" and “Louisiana Velvet” because of the trailing, velvety purple leaves. Gynura's bold color and unique texture provide a nice contrast among the green leafy plants. Clusters of tiny orange-yellow flowers appear in the fall but may not appear without sufficient sunlight. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLight:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003efull sun to part sun\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWater:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Keep evenly moist, reducing water slightly in winter if dictated by environment and growth habit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEnvironment:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePurple Passions like warm temperatures, avoid any cool drafts or chilled rooms.
