The bloom is almost identical and they are in the same genus. They are in bloom now but they prefer the shade. I hope my mexican petunias bloom now that they have been moved to more sun. I always say my plants need wheels on them..cause I move them so much!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13800999516616856785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009464360669428529.post-54848300013769203402009-07-15T15:52:45.391-04:002009-07-15T15:52:45.391-04:00Jean my mexican petunia is in FULL sun.

This never happened in the North on the hottest of days. My head gets the sweatiest and it drives me crazy.
