  • Description

  • Notes

Its hard to think of summer annuals and not think of petunias. They come in a mind-boggling array of colors and color combinations, and may be single flowered, or ruffled like carnations. Habits are either clumping or trailing. Well suited to either bed planting or pot culture. They are also fragrant, and hummingbirds enjoy their nectar.
