A great addition to butterfly gardens as well as the scented garden, Brazilian Button is one of those easy plants that delight so many. Its attractive purple flowers offer a unique and different look as they are produced all growing season. At the Oklahoma Gardening studio we included it in our fragrant plant collections for the delicious pineapple smell of its crushed leaves. This plant is usually hard to find, grows great in containers and is an excellent choice for a child’s garden with its unexpected and pleasant aroma.
