Browallia (Browallia speciosa), commonly known as bush violet or amethyst flower, is a compact, shade-loving annual valued for its rich blue to violet star-shaped blooms with contrasting white centers. In North Florida and South Georgia, it performs best in partial sun to full shade, providing reliable color through the cooler months and into spring. Its mounded habit makes it ideal for shaded beds, borders, and containers where consistent color is needed without heavy maintenance.
Care Needs:
• Light: Partial sun to full shade
• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but well-drained; do not allow to dry out completely
• Pruning: Lightly trim to maintain shape and encourage continued blooming
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season to promote steady flowering
