Mexican Petunia


Hi everybody,
It is a glorious day in South Florida. It is about 70 degrees but tonight will get into the 40s. I think all my plants may enjoy a little repast from the heat! Maybe not this Mexican Petunia which enjoys hot weather and blooms every day! The flowers only last a day, but not to worry; there are buds ready for the next day! These plants grow under any condition and spread. You can stick a cutting in the ground and it will grow. You can trim all you want and they still bloom. They thrive no matter what!
I really love the color. Shades of purple are my very favorite colors!
I hope you are having a great day wherever you are!

  1. Don't you sometimes wish that all your flowers were that prolific / tolerant / easy to propagate? [Actually, it wouldn't be much of a challenge if they were...] How is the broccoli responding to having had some rain?

  2. The broccoli is really growing, but I am wondering if it is going to form heads---so far just leaves and they are getting very tall and leafy! We will see soon I hope!

  3. Have patience! Nature will fix it...
