You are buying one clump of PLANTS of Pink Flowering Mexican Petunia (sometimes called Mexican Chi Chi, Desert Petunia) (Ruellia Brittoniana). There are at least 4 stems in each clump; there may be just one plant or more than one, but it will have at least 4 stems. This is the variety that grows TALL, and will reach a height of 3 - 4 feet. These plants are well rooted and have been growing in soil for several months (not just rooted in water). When shipped they will be from 12" - 15" high and very well rooted, strong plants. Each clump is currently growing in a gallon sized container but will be shipped bare root to reduce shipping costs. As always, planting and care instructions are included with all my plants and seeds.
These are fast growing plants that bloom in a profusion of pink flowers when the weather starts to warm, all during the hottest summer months and all the way until frost.
These BEST thing about these is that the BUTTERFLIES and HUMMINGBIRDS **LOVE** THESE BLOOMS! You can watch the hummingbirds zip from flower to flower feeding on the sweet nectar of these flowers - plant these where you can see them from your window and you'll have a front row seat to the show!
These can grow in full sun or partial shade; they love damp soil, but can definately survive in dryer conditions such as 'normal' yard conditions and I would even say they are drought tolerant, but bloom best with average or better water. Mine are growing in partial shade in sandy well draining soil and doing just fine - only needing to be watered during the dryest periods.
These plants will reach 3' high and 1'-2' wide. These plants produce seeds, so they will multiply.
These are perennials hardy to USDA Zone 8a: to 10° F. They will die back in the winter, but will return in the spring. Suitable for container growing in colder climates.
Email me with any questions; I will answer your emails!
