Other Details ‘Purple Showers’ is a vigorous, upright Mexican petunia (also called Mexican blue bell) that typically grows in a clump to 2-3’ tall. Tubular, petunia-like flowers (1.5”) bloom freely from the leaf axils from late spring to frost on greenish-purple stems clad with linear, willowy, sword-shaped, green leaves. Flowers last only one day, but plants often produce an impressive non-stop succession of bloom. Genus name honors Jean de la Ruelle (1474-1537), French herbalist.Best flowering is in full sun. This is a versatile plant that tolerates an extremely wide range of growing conditions. It thrives as a marginal water plant and in boggy soils, but also does surprisingly well in average garden soils as long as moisture is consistent. Plants tolerate high heat and humidity. New plants may be rooted from stem cuttings.

This color seems to be pink instead of purple, maybe your camera did that. The dark blue (purple) is very common in lahore.
