Know before you buy
The Easy Wave series features a more mounded, controlled growth habit compared to classic spreading petunias. While they still offer a generous spread of 30-39 inches, they maintain a fuller, tighter crown that is better suited for containers and hanging baskets.
Yes, the seeds are pelleted, which makes them significantly easier to see and handle during the planting process compared to raw, dust-like petunia seeds.
These seeds should be started indoors using the transplant method. Maintain a soil temperature between 70-75°F for optimal germination, which typically occurs within 7 to 12 days.
Because this is a mixture, individual seed germination can vary slightly. To ensure a balanced patriotic display, it is best to plant multiple seeds per container or group your transplants closely together.
The Easy Wave series is bred for high performance and continuous blooming throughout the season. While they are relatively low-maintenance, removing spent blooms can help keep the plants looking tidy and encourage even more vigorous growth.
While you can plant them in the ground, these petunias are specifically bred for their mounded habit in containers and baskets. If planted in the ground, ensure they have enough space to accommodate their 30-39 inch spread.
