Nursery contributed plant descriptions

For the lover of fragrant plants in violet hues, this enduring and easily grown tropical will fill any sunny exposure with floral delight. Blooming from early spring through fall, the sweetly scented 1 inch flowers open in a rich blue-violet and fade to white over a period of several days. This plant thrives under the cramped conditions of under potting and periods of dryness, which in turn creates woody growth and an abundance of bloom.
