Jeanette, I had to go look up the name of that purple tree. LOL. I always think of the name as a potato bush. It is a Solanum rantonnetii. I love it. I have 3 huge ones, each is placed on another side of my yard and one sculptured one in my front bed. They are a mass of purple all season long. The one you are looking at, I have shaped so it is a tree with one thick trunk. They have a tendency to be a bush but are easily trained into whatever you want. It is the only thing in the picture that is not in a pot but directly in the ground.

So you can see it is as tall or might even be taller now than my roof!
