* SOLD OUT * SOLD OUT * SOLD OUT * SOLD OUT*
I am sold out of this item for the season. Please email me at :onalee@aol.com and I can let you know when I have it available again. Sorry for the inconvenience. - Onalee | You are buying 4 (FOUR) Tall "Purple Showers" Mexican Petunia (sometimes called Mexican Chi Chi, Desert Petunia, Mexican or Florida Blue Bells) (Ruellia Brittoniana) PLANTS. These plants are well rooted and have been growing in soil for several months (not just rooted in water). They are from 12" - 18" high and very well rooted, strong plants growing in a quart sized container (they are shipped bare root). 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 purple 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 have never produced seeds, so there is no worry about them spreading on their own into other flower beds. They do root easily, so you can decide when and where to create more plants!
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!
