Ruellia elegans 'Ragin' Cajun' (Ragin' Cajun False Petunia)

SunZone: 7b-10, at least 48" tall Origin: Argentina, Brazil

NEW! Ruellia elegans is an amazing plant with a large native range from Chile to Brazil. While some of the selections in the trade are not winter hardy, we have been thrilled with R. 'Ragin' Cajun'. Our 3-year-old deciduous clumps are now 4' tall x 8' wide ...what we call in the South, "big honkers." R. 'Ragin' Cajun' is topped from June through frost with terminal clusters of 5-petaled bright scarlet-red flowers. For us, this has proven amazingly easy-to-grow, but performs best in rich moist soils. Our plants came from Logee's via Dupont Nursery. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
