Native Dessert Petunia
Dipteracanthus australasicus
 

A well proportioned, rounded shrub to 0.6 m high by 0.3 m wide. It has very appealing large lilac-purple flowers that appear after rain in the wild. In gardens it is likely to be more freeflowering if water is available throughout the year. To keep plants neat and compact, prune lightly after flowering. It is frost tolerant and survives dry periods well.
