Adams Fairacre Farms

Joining the popular Magic Show® Veronica comes a brand new color for the collection. ‘Purple Illusion’ matches the habit and flower size of ‘Wizard of Ahhs’, but with thick, rosy purple flowers. Dark green leaves form a thick foliar canopy, so the plant has substance even after it has finished blooming. ‘Purple Illusion’ requires vernalization to bloom.
