FAQs
When is the best time to plant these petunias?
These are garden-ready plants that should be planted out once the danger of frost has passed in your local area.
Do I need to pinch the stems to make them bushy?
The Easy Wave series is bred for a naturally branching, trailing habit, so heavy pinching is generally not required, though light tidying is always helpful.
Can I grow these in the shade?
While they are quite versatile, they perform best and bloom most prolifically in a sunny spot. Deep shade will likely result in fewer flowers and leggy growth.
How often should I water them?
In containers, check them daily. If the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, they need water. In the ground, water when the surface is dry.
Will these come back next year?
Petunias are generally grown as annuals in most climates, meaning they will complete their life cycle within one season.
Troubleshooting
Flowers appearing sparse or small
Increase the frequency of liquid feeding and ensure the plants are receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight.
Yellowing leaves
This is often a sign of overwatering or poor drainage; ensure your containers have holes and allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly before the next watering.
Wilting during the day
This is a natural response to heat stress; water the plants thoroughly in the early morning or evening to help them recover.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, plant your garden-ready petunias in a sunny, well-draining location immediately upon arrival. If planting in pots, use a high-quality multi-purpose compost to ensure adequate nutrient levels. Keep the soil consistently moist, checking it daily during hot or windy weather. Feeding with a high-potassium liquid fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season will prolong the display and increase bloom size. For continued growth and to prevent the plant from going to seed, pinch off faded flowers (deadheading).
