Description
Ruellia brittoniana 'Compacta Pink' is a compact, floriferous perennial prized for its delicate pink, trumpet-shaped blooms and attractive, narrow green foliage. A dwarf selection of the Mexican petunia, this cultivar maintains a tidy, mounding habit and provides continuous color throughout the warmer months. It’s particularly valued in southern landscapes for its heat and humidity tolerance, along with easy care and resilience.
With its charming blooms that attract pollinators and its compact form, it's ideal for borders, containers, or low-maintenance garden edges.
