Mexican Petunia, Ruellia brittoniana Purple Showers.
Tubular, petunia-like, purple flowers last for only one day, but bloom freely in succession from spring to frost on this clumping tender perennial. Butterflies and hummingbirds love the flowers. Plants grow to 3-4 feet tall on greenish-purple stems clad with sword-shaped green leaves. They thrive in a variety of conditions, ranging from wet pond margins to average garden soils. This is a vigorous, free-blooming selection for beds, borders and large containers.No serious insect or disease problems. Plants may spread by pods self-seeding where it is winter hardy.
