If there is one flower that defines the quintessential summer garden, it is the petunia. Known for their trumpet-shaped blooms and an almost endless variety of colours and patterns, petunias are the backbone of hanging baskets, window boxes, and garden borders.

May need watering every day during the height of summer.

As day lengths shorten and temperatures drop in September and October, the blooming will naturally slow down. However, unlike many other annuals that wither at the first sign of fall, petunias are surprisingly resilient and will often keep pushing out flowers until a hard frost finally ends their season.

Petunias are sun worshippers. To maintain a heavy blooming schedule, they require at least daily. If planted in too much shade, the plants will become "leggy" (long, thin stems with few leaves) and produce significantly fewer flowers. 2. Watering Consistency

For most gardeners, petunias deliver 3 to 5 months of continuous, vibrant color from late spring until fall’s first freeze.
