Petunia Tidal Wave® Red Velour F1

2015 AAS Flower Winner

Fabulous and stunning color on a Wave petunia! The first Tidal Wave to win an AAS award was Silver in 2002. Now there is Velour Red with gorgeous deep red velvety blooms that don’t fade even in the heat of summer. Large flowers literally cover the vigorously spreading plants that rarely need deadheading because new blooms continuously pop up and cover the old, spent blooms. A perfect solution for the time-crunched gardener or anyone looking for petunias that are carefree.

Tidal Wave petunias are the tallest of the Wave family and bloom over and over all season long and recover quickly, even after hard rains. Tidal Wave is an excellent landscape performer, covering a large area quickly and beautifully.

  1. AAS Display Garden- River Valley Master Gardeners – 08/10/2018

    Tidal Wave Red Velour petunias are easy to grow from seed and spread fast to make a ground cover that thwarts weeds.
    Very striking drifts of deep red blooms that are so impressive, we are stopping traffic!
