Wave Purple Classic Petunia is one of the original and most celebrated spreading petunias ever introduced, producing masses of rich purple blooms that create a spectacular carpet of color throughout the growing season. Renowned for its vigorous spreading habit, exceptional weather tolerance, and nonstop flowering, this award-winning variety remains a favorite for hanging baskets, containers, landscape beds, and large-scale color displays.
Garden Uses:
Wave Purple Classic Petunia excels in hanging baskets, window boxes, large containers, retaining walls, raised beds, and landscape plantings. Its vigorous spreading habit allows plants to quickly cover large areas, making it ideal for groundcover applications and mass plantings. The rich purple flowers pair beautifully with white alyssum, yellow calibrachoa, silver dusty miller, ornamental grasses, and many other annuals. It is especially effective when allowed to cascade over walls, planters, and basket edges.
Growing Information:
Grow Wave Purple Classic Petunia in full sun for maximum flowering and best plant performance. Plants thrive in fertile, well-drained soil and benefit from regular watering during extended dry periods. Sow seed on the surface of a sterile seed-starting mix, as petunia seeds require light for germination. Maintain temperatures of 70-75°F and consistent moisture until germination occurs, typically within 7-14 days. Regular fertilization throughout the season will encourage vigorous growth and abundant blooms.
