Notes: With such a wide range of colors to choose from Petunias are extremely valuable in the garden, providing color en masses in rock gardens, flower beds and borders, and of course, container plants for tubs, planters, and hanging baskets. Plant in full sun in moist, but well drained soil. Add landscape soil and mushroom compost to enrich the soil and fertilize with slow release bloomer. Random pruning of lanky or untidy growth after first flush of flowers will encourage constant flowering rather than flushes of color. Will die out with summer heat.
