Mexican petunia – Rose, Purple & White

Mexican Petunia (Ruellia) is a tough, free-flowering ornamental producing masses of trumpet-shaped blooms in rose, purple and white above slender, bamboo-like foliage. Almost unstoppable, it flowers nearly year-round, thrives in heat and poor soil, and attracts butterflies. Plant this hardy sapling in full sun to partial shade in almost any soil, water occasionally, and trim to keep it tidy. Perfect for borders, mass plantings, pots and low-maintenance gardens, Mexican petunia rewards you with non-stop tropical colour for very little effort — ideal for busy and beginner gardeners.
