Ruellia peninsularis is a resilient evergreen shrub native to Baja California, prized for its naturally rounded habit and striking white-grey stems. Reaching 4 to 5 feet in height and width, it features small, glossy green leaves that provide a lush backdrop for deep purple, trumpet-shaped flowers. This drought-tolerant plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it ideal for low-maintenance desert landscapes, informal hedges, or attracting hummingbirds to the garden.
