Where the Wild Petunia Blooms

I work honey a gentle self-sower inwards the garden, 1 that establishes itself hither together with in that place without looking similar it is intent on crowding out every other flora some it.

I honey a bloom that is content to rest inwards the background of the garden together with doesn't vociferation amongst coloring or smell equally if to country "look at me".

I honey a native flower, too, 1 that might, if I was a lucky gardener, simply 1 24-hour interval exhibit upwards inwards my garden.

Do yous know what bloom is all of these things I honey nearly flowers?

The wild petunia is all of these things I honey nearly flowers.

Ruellia humilis, self-sows, but non thus much that yous mean value it is going to choke out all the plants some it.

Its petty bluish majestic flowers don't vociferation or accept a heavy scent.

And it is native to the Eastern United States.

I got my wild petunia foremost from some other gardener. It was a raggedy petty snatch of root together with shoot that I hurriedly planted 1 mutual depression temperature Nov day.  I wondered if it would brand it. Later that side yesteryear side summer, afterwards I had generally forgotten nearly it, I stumbled upon its bluish flower.

Since then, I never cutting dorsum the wild petunias, non fifty-fifty inwards belatedly fall. I simply allow them be.

Sure, sometimes inwards a gibe of weeding madness, I mightiness clitoris 1 out.  But I simply shove it dorsum inwards the dry reason amongst a quick apology together with a petty pat equally shortly equally I realize it.

Slowly, slowly, slowly, faster than a glacier, but non equally quick equally a dandelion, wild petunias are making a petty stand upwards inwards my garden.

It's becoming a house where the wild petunia blooms.

And that makes me happy.
