Does Purple Heart come back every year? When should they be planted? |

It is a perennial, and in fact may not even freeze to the ground in the Deep South during a mild winter. In your area it should be a dependable perennial that can be planted almost any time of the year. Now would be an excellent time as that would give it a full season to grow and fill in nicely. |
