Don't Forget To Add These for Your Plants:

Purple Showers Mexican Petunia is a shrubby woody plant used as annual with deep purple woody stems and long willow-like dark green foliage that is often tinged with purple.  The loose clusters of trumpet-shaped purple petunia like flowers bloom from late spring until frost.  Each flower only lasts a day but is quickly replaced.  Grows best with full sun and moist well drained humusy soils.  Drought tolerant once established.  Purple Showers is sterile but can still spread by rhizomes or root pieces.
