Mexican Petunia – Pruning
Q: My Mexican petunia is huge and needs to be cut back for the winter. Do I cut it flat to the ground?
A: Yes, ruellia will freeze to the ground naturally after the first frost. You can clip stems back to two inches high when they turn brown. Ruellia will resprout from the roots next spring.
