This yellow petunia was so outstanding and eye-catching in the AAS Trials that the judges deemed it a Gold Medal Winner! The first petunia to win a gold medal distinction since 1950! Each Bee’s Knees petunia is filled with lush blooms that put on a colorful show of deep yellow, non-fading flowers all season long. The intense yellow petunia color contrasts beautifully against the deep green leaves. Bee’s Knees offers great garden performance in a variety of conditions and requires very little maintenance. Gardeners will love its deep, rich yellow color and its versatile mounding habit. Works great as an element in mixed containers or as a hanging basket but also thrives as a long-blooming groundcover.
Bee’s Knees is also the recipient of the FleuroStar Award in Europe.

- “The plant had a vigorous habit that filled in the containers. It was also noticed that the plant was the best at self-cleaning and had the longest-lasting bloom.”
- “Amazing eye-catching color, full cover with color. Bloom color does pop due to darker yellow veining and throat.”
- “Continued flowering into early fall with excellent yellow-throated flowers.”
- “Yellow color didn’t fade, plants were a solid mound of yellow blooms all season. No disease, no deer problem, no breakage from the wind. Great plant!”
- “This petunia, compared to its comparisons, performed very well in the garden this year. It withstood the summer heat and tolerated the colder and wetter conditions of the end of the season very well.”
