Petunia Tidal Wave 'Purple Hybrid'

 

Wave Petunia 'Purple'

Wave Petunias have transformed American gardens with their super fast-growing, luxuriant, easy-care beauty. These spreading, trailing Petunias bloom like crazy and grow incredibly fast (the original color, Purple, has been clocked at an astounding 2 inches per day, for a total of 5 feet of spread over the season!), and they are simply choked with flowers all summer and into autumn.

Planting Petunias

If you are growing Petunias from seed it is best to start them inside before planting them outside in the spring. Make sure you leave enough room between plants.

 

Flowering in Summer

From Early Summer TO Late Summer

The petunia will bloom in the summer, producing plenty of flowers over this period.

 

Propagation by seed

From Late Winter TO Early Spring
