Bright color, quick growth and endless uses for cooking make this summer annual a winner in the garden or a pot

Make a plum wall come alive with art, warm metals, ivory, chartreuse, natural wood — and at least one wild card

Royally beautiful but mingling well with the masses, plants with purple flowers or foliage are worthy of homage in any garden

Little-girl dreams find grown-up expression in rooms that work pink and purple into chic and sophisticated palettes

Look at Purple With Fresh Eyes and Add it to Unexpected Palettes

With kitchen appliances, pillows, chairs and more in shades of lavender to plum, your home can be as purple as you please

Whatever shade you choose — lilac, plum, mauve or aubergine — purple makes a statement

Scared of purple? Think of it as plum, amethyst or eggplant, and use with the right companion colors

Decadent and different, purples from lavender to plum can make a dining area a treat for the eyes
