Botanical Name

Petunia( WAVE® SERIES)

Plant Common Name

Petunia, Spreading Petunia, Wave® Petunia

General Description

These popular, spreading annuals bloom profusely and add season-long color to the garden. Wave® petunias are vigorous plants that produce numerous funnel-shaped, flowers all season. They come in a variety of colorful cultivars like Wave® Blue, Wave® Pink and Wave® Misty Lilac, which are easy to grow and absolutely beautiful.

Like all petunias, these are sun-loving and grow best in average to fertile loam with good drainage. They bloom best when provided regular fertilizer and appreciate a light prune midseason to juice up flowering for fall. Wave® petunias have been cultivated to survive both drought and heavy rain while maintaining their integrity and form. In the garden, they look best planted in large beds, containers, or hanging baskets.
