Dodonaea viscosa purpurea is a fast-growing, evergreen shrub with beautiful, copper-purple foliage providing fantastic contrast in the garden. Also known as the Purple Hop Bush, it bears ornamental clusters of small bird-attracting, red-purple seeds during summer. Due to its dense growth habit, it is great for hedging or an informal screen. It is useful for soil stabilisation in areas in need of erosion control. Prune lightly in spring for bushy growth; do not prune into old wood.
