I also really love this I. purpurea lavender flaked bloomer. I am developing a new appreciation for I. purpurea vines. Interestingly, I am not seeing a lot of seed production on any of my higes or any of these other unusual I. purpurea vines. I guess the mutants are not as prolific seed producers as the usual purpurea suspects. Which disproves the invasive nature of some cultivars of this species. I have been delightfully surprised at how much I've enjoyed all the purpurea vines I've grown this Fall/Winter. Never say never! :-) And this was an awesome year for me with tri-color vines, too! I'm a convert after this year and will grow many of these again in the up-coming years in late summer/fall/winter. Some outstanding characteristics from these two species of MG!
