See Mexican petunia pictures. The botanical name for Mexican Petunia or Purple Showers is Ruellia brittoniana. These are evergreen desert shrubs that flower periodically throughout the year. Mexican petunia bushes take full sun and are somewhat drought-tolerant, but they need a water source, such as a drip system.
