Olea Europaea Var. Violacea

Olea europaea var. violacea is a rare and striking variant of the olive tree known for its unique violet-colored leaves. This plant thrives in warm, temperate climates and is often cultivated for its ornamental value. Its foliage stands out against the typical green of other olive varieties, making it a popular choice for gardens and landscapes. While it shares the resilience of its parent species, its coloration makes it a botanical curiosity. Despite its beauty, it remains relatively obscure in horticultural circles.
