"Purple Queen" does well in rich soil, well watered, and partial shade. Fantastic small pink flowers adorn end stalks all season. Left unchecked, in a pleasing environment, one could imagine total ground coverage thru self propegation.

Growing great in Orlando, both full and partial sun. Also, they seem to root well for new transplants.

'Purple Heart' sure does provide some nice color in borders even during the hottest part of summer.

There are 3 plants here that have been in the ground for about 15 years. 5 minutes once a week keeps them under control.

Left out in a freeze, this plant will bleed purple. Makes pretty snow! psp

This one stays outside year round (Phoenix, AZ). It is a few years old, but it gets trimmed back regularly.
