The scent of this petunia ALMOST makes weeding in the garden fun. The fragrance is a beacon for the large Hummingbird Moths in the evening.
During an extended period of heat and drought, even with frequent watering, the ground planted petunias appear to be somewhat stunted compared to the container grown plants.
Louise Clarke –
Sensational!
Evening Scentsation petunia from seed was a wonderful performer in my SE PA garden. Its medium blue flowers were lightly fragrant in daytime, becoming more fragrant in evening. Its spreading habit lent itself to performing as an annual groundcover that out-competed weeds. Rain resistant flowers didn’t turn slimy after precipitation.
