Critically endangered in the wild, this petunia exists in a population less than 14-strong, threatened by habitat loss and hybridization. Plants produce fairly large, ovular leaves covered in tiny sticky hairs on a scrambling bushy habit up to 2 feet tall/wide, and are the ONLY naturally-occurring red species in the genus, once mature producing tubular flowers about 2 inches long and wide with a green base and orange-scarlet to rich ruby red faces. Highly attractive to hummingbirds, tentatively perennial in zones 9 and warmer (annual elsewhere).
Available plants are seedlings between 2-5 inches tall.
