Description

The listing, Mexican Petunias has ended.

You will be bidding on 5 plants!

Mexican petunias (Ruellia simplex) are able to tolerate a wide range of growing conditions, but prefer wet or marshy soils, such as moist woodlands or the edges of ponds and lakes. They can withstand drought and even full sun in drier soils and is cold hardy to USDA hardiness zones 8 to 11. (From HGTVgardens.com )

I have mine on both sides of my walkway by the porch. They look like bushes! I get lots of complements on them.

They can get out of hand if not watched, because they propagate both by seed (?) and roots. So if you are looking for a flower that is easy to grow, this is it!!

Sorry cannot send to Florida!

LOL :-)
I don't want to get into any trouble! From what I have read, because they can be so invasive Florida has banned them! That is the ONLY reason! I agree with you 100% and it took me quite a bit of time to find them, plus they were not cheap at the time! LOL
