| Avalanche buries the competition with floriferous, early-blooming plants that always look fresh, thanks to an innovative growth pattern that sets blooms from the center instead of the end of the stems. (No more "flat-topped" baskets!) As if this weren't enough, the flowers of this new variety are a rich grape so mouth-watering you may be tempted to taste them! An entirely new color for the Avalanche series, this shade of purple is so vivid you'll be able to see it in a hanging basket or windowbox from way down the street! And the flowers won't fade in the sun or darken into brown. Easy to grow from seed, they arise in just 1 to 2 months from sowing! Particularly effective in wet weather, Avalanche shakes off the elements and keeps on spreading and blooming! Eventually reaching 6 ro 8 inches high and 3 to 5 feet wide, it just keeps turning out 2- to 2½-inch blooms, for fresh flowers over a very long season. Tough enough to use as a ground cover yet lovely enough to grace your patio baskets and entryway, Avalanche will sweep you away! And if you love this Grape, try lavender, fire-engine bright red improved, stunning salmon, goes-with-anything white, and bold cherry! Better yet, get a packet of each in our economical collection of all 6! 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 or container after danger of frost is past. Pkt is 10 pelleted seeds. |
