Bombay Dark Blue Fan Flower is a compact fast-growing evergreen tropical perennial grown as an annual with trailing stems and green foliage. The whorls of violet-blue fan shaped flowers bloom continuously from mid-spring through summer. Grows best with dappled sun and well-drained soils. The Bombay series tolerates full sun and has improved heat and drought tolerance.
