Ruellia, or Mexican petunia, is a resilient choice for Southwest gardens, offering striking color even in intense heat. These funnel-shaped flowers pair exceptionally well with silvery agave or yellow lantana for a dynamic color palette. Their vertical growth and lush foliage make them ideal for filling gaps in border plantings while adding a splash of cool-toned vibrancy.
