Browallia
Browallia, (amethyst flower, bush violet)is hardy to zone 8a otherwise use as an annual. Grows to 18 inches tall with dark blue, blue violet and violet lavender flowers. Blooms in midsummer through to the end and into the early fall. An excellent container plant in trailing or compact bush form. It is also an excellent shade flower for window boxes and rock gardens. If planting in containers bring them indoors before the first frost and they will continue to grow and flower. I would cut them back a fair amount as they will get less sun in the Winter. You can also dig up a plant or two, cut them back, put into a container and you'll have pretty flowers all Winter long. Plant seeds indoors at 70 degrees and in 14 to 21 days plant outside after the last frost. When planting either in containers or in the ground you will want to use humus rich soil and keep it moist and well drained.This is a great hanging basket plant. Use it as you would impatience or in combination for an eye catching delight. Try it You'll like it.
