I have a plant in the garden that is hardy, but I have no idea what kind of plant it is. I’m sending a photo and hope you know. The branches are purple in color, the lower leaves are dark green and sharply tapered. Many thanks for your answer.

I think this is the crossleaf spurge (Euphorbia lathyris L.).
