The most notable feature of Gynura crepidioides is undoubtedly its deep purple foliage. The leaves, which can vary in shape from lanceolate to serrated, create a cascading effect, making it an eye-catching addition to hanging baskets or container gardens. The intensity of the purple coloration is influenced by factors such as light exposure and soil conditions.
