I agree with you Bob. I love color foliage because flowers are a fleeting endeavor. I fell in love with this plant and have worked hard to find the ones that survive and Thierry Delabroye creations have been the best and the ones developed by (I cannot think of the name now) but one here in Pennsylvania.
It is not helpful to pay almost 20.00 for a plant that only survive one season, at least not with my budget.
To answer your question. It seems anything purple seems survive well for me......and so far my favorites are....
Caramel
Stainless Steel
Georgia Peach
