This plant is commonly known as Lal Chitrak. Bot. name: Plumbago indica Family: Plumbaginaceae Thanks, ..., for the wonderful posts. Seen this somewhere but haven't photographed.
Apologies for the bad pics. Medicinal herb. Place-Cochin. Height-1.5feet. Yes, it is Plumbago indica. Red plumbago flowers seem a little bigger (compared to leaves) than what I have seen, but that's no matter being in a pot may have a super abundance of n and p in the soils ...Thanks...; for confirming 'Lal Chitrak'
