The Ruellia Pink ‘Chi Chi’ is a hardy, low-maintenance perennial known for its cheerful pink, petunia-like blooms and lush green foliage. A member of the wild petunia family, this variety is especially loved for its long blooming season—from late spring through fall—and its ability to thrive in hot, sunny conditions. The soft pink flowers appear daily and attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, making it a great choice for pollinator gardens. Its upright, clumping form makes it perfect for borders, mass plantings, or naturalized areas.
‘Chi Chi’ is adaptable to a range of soil types and can handle drought once established, though it performs best with moderate watering and good drainage. It spreads gently through underground rhizomes, forming colonies that provide consistent color and texture in the landscape without being overly aggressive. Whether you're looking to fill in a sunny flower bed or add reliable color to a cottage or native garden, Ruellia Pink ‘Chi Chi’ delivers beauty with minimal effort.

"These little plants are neat, a mix between a ground cover and a really small mounding plant. they bloom nearly all year round and take little to no care at all. They also are very low water. I recommend these for any type of landscape, tropical - xeriscape "
