Ruellia prostrata, also known as "trailing ruellia" is a wild plant that is a beauty of the landscape in the wild, a plant that only has small stems, grows by vines among wild grasses, but who would have thought that this plant has very beautiful flowers and exotic, I noticed, apart from having flowers with stunning colors, this plant also covers the surface of the surrounding soil, so if you are thinking about planting it in your yard then Ruellia prostrata is the right choice, because when spring arrives they will provide beautiful colors. colorful flowers, while in summer they will cover the surface of the soil and create cool air.
I don't know if the tropical forests in your country where you live have this wild plant, okay I will give a little explanation about the characteristics of Ruellia prostrata and hope you can recognize them well.
Main characteristics;
Leaves: The leaves of this plant are oval or lanceolate in shape and bright green in color. The leaves of this plant have a smooth texture and can provide a cooling visual effect.
Flowers: Ruellia prostrata produces light purple to blue flowers, and the flowers of the Ruellia prostrata plant often bloom in clusters, as you can see in the picture that these flowers have a funnel-like shape which adds aesthetic appeal to where they grow.
Growth: as I said at the beginning of the post that these plants grow by vines and spread quickly, and this is what makes them ideal for covering large areas, my observations have shown that these plants do not have a height of more than 30cm, but what is unique is that they can stretch horizontally for several meters.
