| Begin the Petunia season a week or two earlier this year with big, deep burgundy blooms! Like favorite guests, Celebrity Petunias come early and stay late! With the fastest average bloomtime of any Floribunda, they pop up in the garden just 43 days after sowing--when the vigorous plants are no more than 4 inches tall! And they keep up the good show over a very long season, continuing for several weeks after others have given up. Part of this endurance is due to great resistance to adverse weather, from rain and humidity to warm nights--Celebrity keeps its neat, mounded habit and plentiful blooms through it all! The plants eventually reach 8 to 10 inches high, making them a great size for both garden and container. Very impressive, carefree performers, they have been wowing gardeners for more than a decade, and we have named them Park's High Performers for superior gardenworthiness! 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 100 seeds. |
