Baja Ruellia grows well in full to part sun and performs wonderfully in desert landscapes. With a regular water cycle, they will be lush and full of foliage during all the warm months. They might get a little sparse in cold winters. The plant typically reaches a height of 2 to 3 feet, forming a bushy shape, which makes it ideal for use as a border plant, stand-alone shrub, or in containers. Baja Ruellia requires low maintenance and benefits from occasional pruning to maintain its shape and promote continuous blooming.

This flowering plant is native to the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico. The Baja Ruellia produces beautiful purple to lavender-colored flowers from late spring through early summer. This perennial shrub is a favorite among property owners seeking a low-maintenance yet visually appealing landscape addition. Baja Ruellia has elongated, dark green leaves that provide a contrasting backdrop to the showy blooms, which typically appear during the warmer months. The flowers, which are tubular in shape and grow in clusters, attract pollinators such as bees and hummingbirds, making the plant a great choice for pollinator-friendly gardens.
