This newest color of the popular Wave® petunias was one of the highest scoring plants in the 2018 trials! AAS judges enthusiastically came up with an array of ways to describe the unique carmine rose color: “Fabulous,” “Stunning,” “Intense,” “Vibrant,” “Lively,” “Great color,” “Bright,” “Non-fading,” “Outstanding,” “My favorite,” “Bright colors regardless of clouds or sun,” “Tough competition but this entry shined through,” and so on. You get the picture; the judges loved this entry!
Large 2-2.5 inch flowers literally cover the easy-care spreading plants that rarely need deadheading because new blooms continuously pop-up and cover the spent blooms. Wave® is an excellent landscape performer and does equally as well in containers or hanging baskets as it does in the landscape.

I started Petunia Wave Carmine Velour from seed back in March and its proved to be one of most successful plants to date. I used them in hanging baskets and in containers ranging from 8″-20″ deep and they are exceeding my expectations. Truth be told, I am horrible at creating hanging baskets so I am very pleased with how this petunia has grown. I gave them some organic fertilizer when transplanting outside and fed them a liquid organic fertilizer once in early June. If you are looking for an easy care petunia this is the one for you.
