Wild Petunia

This southeastern U.S. native perennial is called "Wild Petunia" and makes a good garden plant. It has beautiful blue or violet petunia-like flowers that appear in the spring, summer, and fall. The informative and entertaining book Passalong Plants by Steve Bender and Felder Rushing offers high praise for this long-blooming spreader which is good in well-drained soils in sun or semi-shade.
