Wave Petunia
Petunia × hybrida 'Wave'
Wave Petunias revolutionized annual gardening — they spread 2-4 feet without pinching, bloom non-stop from planting to frost, and require almost no maintenance. They cascade beautifully from containers, window boxes, and hanging baskets, or spread as a colorful groundcover in beds.

Care Guide
Full sun (6+ hours). Fertilize every 2 weeks with liquid fertilizer — they're heavy feeders. Water when soil is dry. No deadheading needed — they're self-cleaning. Plant after last frost. In-ground spacing: 12-24 inches apart.
