Give these gorgeous Wave petunias the care and love they need and they will give back to you all summer long! They will perform best when they soak up the sun’s energy and warmth and give you the show you are looking for. At least six hours a day of sunlight is ideal for this sun-loving plant. There should be enough drainage that excess water can easily run out. Wet roots do not make a happy plant and will encourage disease and or cause your plants’ roots to drown. (I say, “don’t let them cry”) By the weight of your container and checking moisture levels by reaching into the soil with your fingers you will know whether your Petunias are thirsty or not. Dry down between watering is tolerated by Waves but don’t let them wilt. In the heat of summer, your container may need water twice a day. Because planting in containers limits the roots ability to seek out hydration it is important to keep them happy with water. Remember that containers dry down faster than the garden. Adding fertilizer to their water every ten – fourteen days is a good idea and will allow your waves to spread and bloom all summer. If you notice the leaves are turning yellow, that is a sign that your plants need some fertilizer. They need plenty of food to give them the energy they need to make those beautiful big blooms. Plants that are vigorous growers are hungry plants. They will fill in fast and make you happy!įertilizer is a must. Wave Petunias will fight for the nutrients they need to spread and cascade, so make sure they have space to grow. The larger the container the more plants you can put in. 😉) A few plants will go a long way, it is recommended that you use 3 Waves in a 10-12-inch container. (I have a tendency towards this, wanting an instantly full basket, – resist the urge. A few points to remember when planting:ĭon’t over-pack your container. They are excellent for containers, hanging baskets or in the ground. They even come in different varieties for different needs: trailing, mounding, and spreading. Keep them watered and fertilized and they are like a gift that keeps on giving! Wave Petunias keep their lush, full habit even in the dog days of August when every other plant around them wilts at noonday and struggles to keep going. What flower could be better? They stand up to rain, humidity, heat, and other environmental stresses better than other varieties, making them a gardener’s delight! Less susceptible to botrytis and mold issues is another perk to this plant. The beauty of this plant makes it a stand-alone, however the fact that no deadheading is required unlike original varieties of petunias, makes the Wave petunia a genius species! Wave Petunias are all the rave! They are a spectacular variety that have been bred for their prolific spreading growth habit, big beautiful blooms that bloom profusely throughout the growing season with easy care.
