Drought Resistant Plants
Katie White Dwarf Ruellia, Dwarf Mexican Petunia, Desert Petunia, Mexican Blue Bells, Florida Bluebells
Ruellia caerulea 'Katie's White', R. brittoniana, R. tweediana, R. malacosperma
Loads of white trumpet-shaped flowers are tucked among and atop the narrow dark to medium green foliage from spring to frost all on a low and compact plant. Flowers of the Mexican Petunia attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Katie White Dwarf Ruellia, a selection of R. tweediana or sometimes R. simplex, is a small and compact, root hardy, clump-forming, naturally evergreen tropical that is adorned in narrow medium to deep green weeping foliage creating small individual mounds on their own similar to Liriope. Use this heat and sunloving, shade-tolerant perennial as a border, groundcover, as well as a filler in container gardens. In zones 8-9, Ruellia act like die-back perennials that freeze back and then return from their crown in spring once the weather and soil temperatures begin to properly warm. An insulative but breathable organic mulch will help to ensure their return in areas that experience freezing temperatures. Easy and reliable! Item# 9284
