Like the essence of moonlight, these silvery blooms with deep purple centers and wispy purple veining create a peaceful, elegant atmosphere in any setting. And “any setting” is just where you can grow them — from containers to bedding to trellises to edging, Tidal Wave® Silver fits them all! Amazingly versatile, it is called a “hedgiflora” — but we just call it “wonderful”!

The blooms range from 2½ to 4 inches across, and some are deeply blushed with purple while others are nearly pure white. The silver tone is utterly unique, complementing other spreading Petunias very well and making a nice companion both to light- and dark-toned designs. These blooms aren’t shrinking violets, either — they stand up to summer storms beautifully, bouncing back from rain and wind without turning a petal! Expect a long summer season of bloom in the sunny yard or patio.

The plant itself is as much of a star as its flowers, offering an adaptable habit completely unlike other Petunias’. Spaced closely together, the plants form an upright mound or even a low hedge 16 to 22 inches tall, drenched with silvery blooms and utterly charming. Set against a trellis and given a little help to get started, it forms a floriferous climber that can reach 24 to 36 inches long. Widely spaced in bed or border, it creeps along as a lovely ground cover. And then there’s its “traditional” use as a trailing Petunia in baskets, planters, and other containers!

Tidal Wave® Silver is a 2002 All America Selection winner and Fleuroselect Quality Mark recipient . . . meaning that it has won the two highest honors available to any flowering seed variety!

We think it should be the spreading Petunia of choice for gardeners looking for something a little distinctive in the garden. It is superbly Botrytis-resistant (which is enough to convince us, even without any other merits, that we must have it!) and very long-blooming. In short, a highly adaptable, vigorous, gorgeous Petunia you really should try!

Plant Tidal Wave® Silver in full sun, feed and water it well all season, and you will be rewarded with masses upon masses of moonlight-bright blooms! Pkt is 10 pelleted seeds.
