Wave petunias have begun to take over the petunia category in the annuals aisle at garden centers in the spring. Here's a petunia that I'm identifying as "Pretty Much Picasso" by Proven Winners. This image was taken several days ago on our travels through Wisconsin. The red violet blossom rimmed with green is eye catching.
I haven't grown a lot of the wave or spreading variety of petunias yet. My guess is that with some TLC, regular watering, and a good fertilization schedule these petunias thrive. I'm trying wave petunias is one of the summer boxes at the farmhouse so we'll see if these plants become a favorite.
