A note from PlantMom

Asperula purpurea is resistant to disease and usually does not suffer from illnesses. In terms of care, the plant is fairly low-maintenance. When grown outdoors it needs only minimal watering, and larger specimens typically do not require pruning. Smaller plants, however, should be trimmed after they have finished blooming. Asperula purpurea is suitable for anyone with outdoor space, such as a garden or a deck, and does not demand much gardening experience.
