Pink Water Petunia

Ruella brittoniana ‘Chi Chi’

 

Hardy Plant Bloody Dock

Not related to the petunia at all, rather this is a small southern perennial with blooms that look exactly like a petunia. Handsome narrow, dark green foliage covers the tall stems, topped with contrasting pink petunia-like flowers. Thrives in a variety of conditions so this can be planted in a shallow bog, in a rain garden, or along the edge of the pond.
