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. They don't get very tall -- just 3 or 4 feet high -- and are evergreen, with a dark green leaf. The flowers are purple or dark blue. The Mexican petunia plant is a fast grower, and is used successfully against block walls, or to surround and camouflage unpleasant looking electrical boxes and air conditioning units.
