Cait's Garden

I do not have the patience for annuals. I prefer to spend my gardening dollars on plants that will last for many seasons to come. However, I am aware of the popularity of “Wave” petunias, and have often wondered if they are really worth the extra money being charged for them. Well, this photo from a family member’s front porch appears to demonstrate, quite strongly, that Wave petunias ARE worth the extra money. On the left are the Wave petunias; on the right are the “regular” old petunias. These planters are located within feet of each other on the front porch, in the same light. Both groups of flowers were planted early in the summer, within a week of each other. If that is what Wave petunias look like in late August, then friends, buy Wave petunias if you are inclined to annuals!
