Ruellia brittoniana

Mexican Petunia Ruellia

This petunia-like blooming plant will flower until it gets cold. While it may die back in the winter it will not die completely and will resurrect itself when the weather warms. It does well in containers, and while Ruellia can tolerate partial shade it blooms more in full sun.
