Browallia

Browallia, also known as Amethyst Flower or Sapphire Flower, is a genus of flowering plants that belong to the family Solanaceae. This plant is native to tropical regions of South America and is known for vibrant blue flowers that bloom profusely during the summer and fall months.

Browallia plants are commonly used in garden beds, containers, and hanging baskets due to their trailing habit. The flowers of Browallia are trumpet-shaped and have five petals that form a star-like shape. They are attractive to pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, making them a great addition to pollinator gardens.

Browallia plants are relatively easy to grow and care for. They prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter and should be kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. Browallia plants prefer partial shade but can also tolerate full sun in cooler climates. In hot summer months, they may need protection from the intense afternoon sun to prevent sunburned leaves and flowers.

One of the benefits of Browallia plants is their ability to self-sow, which means that they can produce seeds that will germinate and grow into new plants without human intervention. This can be a double-edged sword, as Browallia can become invasive in some areas. However, self-sowing can be a great way to ensure a steady supply of new plants in the right conditions.
