Trailing Velvet Plant (Ruellia makoyana)

Here’s a dynamic fall and winter bloomer that provides color when it’s needed most. Trailing Velvet Plant starts to flower in late fall and continues until spring. The bright pink, trumpet-shaped flowers rise above the foliage so they are easily seen. The leaves have pronounced silver veining and are accented by the deep green velvety tones. A member of the Acanthaceae family and a Brazilian native, this plant is perfect for limited space on windowsills or used in hanging baskets.
