Wave Purple Spreading Petunia is a tender herbaceous perennial with a spreading habit that is grown as an annual when outside. Its small green foliage is coated by non-stop flowering of large vibrant pinkish-purple funnel-shaped flowers with dark throats that bloom from mid spring through summer. Flowers best in part shade and rich, well-drained soils. Petunias do very well as container and house plants.
