  1. Lavender, Iris, mountain bluet, wisteria, cone flower, salvia, Russian sage, delphinium, tulip, cat mint, fan flower, verbena and petunias. I almost forgot the angel face, giant alliums,  hyacinths and crocus. These are the purple ones I have in my garden.

    I also found a site that shows many purple flowers.
