Unknown purple flower, Help identifying please
Comments (4)I would guess that this could be Claridge Druce. It is mixed in with another common, tough, work horse of the British garden, Lysimachia punctata....See MoreIdentify this purple flower?
Comments (15)Thanks for your ideas and thanks for indulging me while I reply (I took a long time). I wonder if simply a larger pic would be easier to see the flowers. None of the plants posted (that I saw pics of) look quite right. It's not Mexican petunia (although it looked a lot like it apart from the large stem). Here are some much larger pics. They probably show the leaves at the base and the side of the flower well (there was a large rain, so the plant is not blooming anymore). I do have the feeling that this is not a native plant. One of my neighbors may have planted it. I may ask in the non-native plants forum (if there is one). Here's the link to the image-sharing site: https://imgur.com/a/7YK1D .

Comments (17)This is one of my all time favorite plants. I hope y'all don't mind if I rave a few minutes! Angelonia thrives in the blazing heat and sun in my western facing front beds....in northern Alabama's clay soil. It blooms all season long, until a hard frost takes them out. They are quite drought tolerant once established...I don't have irrigation and rarely haul the hose out. No deadheading, no pest or disease issues, and no fading out in the heat. I have Angelonia planted both in the ground and in containers. Plan on giving it at least 12 inches from stem to stem....they are very robust and fast growing plants. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds all like mine....See MoreIdentifying 2 plants - Green/purple stems, white flowers
