Both climbing and cascading with an abundance of vibrant flowers. Large leaves make this a bushy plant that spreads. Great for climbing trellis and hanging baskets. I planted in a trough. Grown for the first time this year, a trough has proven to not to be the best choice. Requires regular pruning. My Notes for…

Petunia Rapide
Petunia’s produce an abundance of beautiful flowers. Another sprawling plant with curving but strong stems. These particular Petunia’s are cascading so great for tall planters, hanging baskets, large pots and troughs. Another flower I’ve I’ve grown from seedling for the first time this year.
