Dwarf PINK KATY Baby Kate Hybrid Mexican Petunia Ruellia Ground Cover Starter Size 4 Inch Pot Emerald TM

Mexican Petunia or Bluebell is fast growing semi tropical flowering shrub native to the Mexico. It is best known for season long color, as well as a tendency to escape from the planting area. It grows wild on roadsides in Mexico and Central and South America.

Dwarf Katy or Baby Kate Ruellia is a smaller, dwarf growing version with all the best features, and no less desirable ones. They never grow larger than about 12 to 14 inches tall , are sterile hybrids that do not set seed, or invade other areas.

The three colors, purple, pink and white, have identical leaves and growth habits, and so can be used is single color mass plantings or in mixed color beds. They make great filler and borders for mixed perennial beds as well as adapting well to permanent potted culture. They are perpetual bloomers that require little maintenance beyond occasional routine pruning and feeding.

The flowers are bright colored, five petaled petunia-like singles and are present nearly year round in warm climates.
