Growing Petunias for Continuous Summer Color

Pronunciation: peh-too'nee-uh

Petunias need full sun and average garden soil. Our small-flowered varieties don't require deadheading. In the South, flowering may slow in mid-to-late summer—shear plants back by half and fertilize for a fall bloom flush. Hardy to Zone 8 (10°F).
