Achimenes Mexicana
M5063
Description
Bearing purple-blue funnel-shaped blooms from late spring until autumn, Achimenes ‘Mexicana’ is a stunning, low maintenance perennial which is native to Central and South America.
For months on end, the gently cascading foliage is liberally decorated with an abundance of rich blue flowers with soft-white throats.
Related to African Violets and Gloxinias, colourful and showy Achimenes make excellent container companions to Begonias and smaller Dahlias.
When the foliage starts to die back in autumn, allow your containers to dry out, or dig up the scaly rhizomes and store in a frost-free place until re-planting the following spring.
