Lyon's Plum Pudding

Average Rating 4.8 out of 5

Simply the Perfect Shade of Purple

I've had Lyon's Plum Pudding (LPP) for 10 years (or more), and it's an easy grower and heavy bloomer. By easy growing, I mean that it blooms regularly in natural sunlight with, as the Violet Barn recommends, an "even" AV fertilizer and repotting every six months. And LPP buds are sturdy, too. I've done 6-month repottings with buds, and they don't shrivel away. Rather, the buds bloom to the most perfect, vibrant shade of purple--absolutely stunning. The color is what I've always thought a purple AV should be. Buy this plant!

If you love purple, this is your plant!

Gorgeous blooms with much more depth in detail and color than can be seen in the pictures. Highly recommend.

Spot On!

This baby will be one of your favorites!! Huge flowers standing up in a cluster like a bride's-maid's bouquet! Blooms look just like the photos, but are prettier in person..or in "plant!" I can keep mine in 2.5 inch pots & they bloom just fine. Follow the rule of leaving at least 2 leaves on the main stem below the flower-holding stem. I'm tellin' ya, Plummy is yummy!

You won't be disappointed!

This has always been my favorite purple bloom. It is a gorgeous color, the blooms are full and absolutely huge, and have lovely shading on the tips. I've ordered this variety from other growers to share with others or to have a spare plant, but was not as happy with the color of the blooms or the hardiness of the plants. You definitely will not be disappointed with this one! Very easy plant to grow, even for novices, blooms often and easily.
