Atriplex hortensis var. rubra
Red Orache or red mountain spinach is an annual with deep reddish-purple leaves which grows nearly two metres in a season, giving you strong vertical elements in your border (plus edible leaves as a spinach substitute). It is a close relative of dock, and seeds itself just as widely.
