Thank you sooo much!!! I have 3 purple and recently found a pink Mexican petunia. It's become my favorite plant. The hummingbirds adore it!!!
It roots easily in water.

I have Mexican Petunias plants, but I grow them in containers..... The friend I got them from was giving them away - They literally took over her garden beds.

[@gardeningonpurpose3334]

@AspiringGardeners oh wow. Yeah, I did hear of their invasive nature. Since they are hardy to zone 8, mine wouldn't come back if I put them in containers. They are beautiful, though. Hope you are enjoying them.

[@ddgardner5671]

It can be invasive because the seedpods explode and propel the seeds far from the plant. But, the variety Home Depot sells is called "Purple Rain", and it's sterile.

I got 2 at the home depot. They were supposed to be $18.98 but were ringing up at $9.29?????

@mapndo2337 you lucked up there... I notice sometimes plants ring up different. I got mine last year amd paid full price
