Use it for groundcover or place it in hanging baskets for optimal results!

With delicate, petunia-like flowers and nearly black stems, the Mexican Petunia offers unique appeal. It will grow 1-3 feet in height and width, so it can fit into any space, filling its surroundings with evergreen leaves and long-lasting blooms.

Being a low-maintenance plant, you can expect Mexican Petunia care to be relatively simple. These plants are known for their adaptability because they thrive in the heat, are drought tolerant, and flourish even in poor soil conditions. However, for fast growth and optimal blooms, plant this flower (also nicknamed the Mexican Bluebell for its bell-shaped blossoms) in a location with partial shade and well-draining, consistently moist soil.
