Double Petunia – Plant

About Petunia

The double Petunia from a small beginning has developed into a fabulous flower that puts on a spectacular show all summer. The double varieties now available are remarkably big, and rank with some of the most beautiful subjects in the garden where, for a riotous splash of color and a glowing display, they are second to none.

Colors are various and equally lovely arranged in a rich luxuriant mass or as points of accent with longer stemmed trumpet-shaped flowers.
