Those Wave Petunias Can't Be Beat

Here it is nearly five months after I installed the summer color in the City containers and would you just look at this Misty Lilac Wave petunia. 



Big flowers that continuously bloomed -- never a down time -- and here is the best part -- no pests!!  It is truly one of my all time favorite Wave petunias.  The other colors do well but not nearly so well as Misty Lilac. 

And that is Verbena Homestead Purple hovering in the background.  It provided lots of greenery this year and not as much color as I had hoped for.  But it's a perennial so it will probably get moved to the ground somewhere so it can come back next year. 

Next summer season I'll have a couple other tried and true petunias -- Supertunia Vista Bubblegum and Silverberry . . . but you can count on seeing at least one or two containers with Misty in them.  I just finished paging through the 2013 Spring/Summer catalogs -- wow, there are so many great plants to lust after.  Can't wait to start the design process!
