Oh boy — an exciting new color for the best-selling, super-popular Double Cascade family of Petunias! Rich, deep Blue is the best color yet — and the perfect complement to all the glorious pinks in this series!

If you’re new to the Double Cascade series of Grandiflora Petunias, let me fill you in on why these plants are winning gardeners’ hearts every day. Unlike older double-flowered Petunias, which tended to offer a few blooms (after considerable coaxing), the Double Cascades are just as floriferous as their single-flowered cousins, and the blooms are HUGE (4 inches). They tumble from tall planters, windowboxes, and hanging baskets, making a nice compromise between bedding Petunias, which tend to be more upright, and trailing Petunias, which grow straight down and out. It’s the best of both worlds — and you get these blooms UP TO A MONTH EARLIER than older varieties, for an extra-long season of color. You just can’t beat them; they are simply terrific.

Now, let’s look at the blooms themselves. They’re frilly, petal-packed, 4 inches wide, fully double (which means that they have twice the petal count of single-flowered blooms), and elaborately ruffled, so that they resemble Carnations more than Petunias! And they erupt all over vigorous 15- to 18-inch-tall plants, creating a long, colorful show in the sun-soaked summer garden, patio, or porch.

Perfect for containers of any kind, this spreading plant froths out of hanging baskets, leans out of windowboxes, and tumbles from planters! It spreads 24 to 30 inches wide, with a well-branched habit that keeps you in blooms over a long, sunny season!

If you like new Blue, please take a look at the other colors in this wonderful series. There’s rich Burgundy, bright Pink, pastel Soft Pink, and white-splashed Orchid Mist. Or simply give in to temptation and get the ultra-colorful mix of all 5 colors! This Petunia is so popular that we’ve even got a collection that gives you one packet of each color for less money than you’d spend on 5 separate packets!

Petunias are unrivalled for long-lasting color in the border, patio containers, windowboxes, and hanging baskets. They bring in the butterflies with their clear, glowing blooms, and are quite low maintenance. Start seeds indoors 5 to 6 weeks before the last frost date. Transplant into the sunny garden after danger of frost is past. Pkt is 35 seeds.
