Browallia

From LoveToKnow Garden

Browallia - Annual plants of the Nightshade order, chiefly Peruvian. B. elata has usually been regarded only as a beautiful pot-plant, but it does well in the open air, either in a bed by itself or in large patches with other things. It supplies a shade of color difficult to obtain, and is useful to cut from. Sow the seeds in March, prick off the young plants when large enough to handle, grow them on till they are strong, and plant out in May. There is a white variety equally useful. B. Roezli is a dense compact bush, 16 to 20 inches high, with shining green leaves. The flowers are of a delicate azure blue, or are white with a yellow tube, and are unusually large for the genus. They come in uninterrupted succession from spring till autumn. Rocky Mountains.
