Petunia - Tidal Wave Silver
Grown in restricted space with support, it will grow an extra 2 to 3 feet upward, like a vine. When given plenty of space, this petunia makes a floriferous groundcover spreading 2. The Tidal Wave Silver Petunia, 'Petunia x hybrida hedgiflora', has a growth habit based on how closely the plants are spaced in the garden. Tidal Wave petunias require no pinching or pruning. The low maintenance qualities and excellent weather tolerance make them well-suited for landscapes and large containers. It also was a Fleuroselect Quality Mark Winner 2003 at the Colorado State University "Best of Show" variety. Place the plants close together and they will get taller. 5 to 3 feet. The flowers are silvery white to very light lavender with dark purple veins. When spaced a minimum of 12 inches apart, it forms a dense, mounded hedge from 16 to 22 inches tall. The Tidal Wave petunia was a University of Georgia 1999 Gold Medal Winner. ... more info
