Wave Petunia - Easy Wave Yellow

$4.25

Key Characteristics

  • Color: Features true yellow flowers, sometimes with dark yellow centers.

  • Habit: This variety has a mounding and spreading habit, offering more height than the classic Wave series but a slightly more controlled spread. It can spread up to 3 feet or more.

  • Size: Plants typically reach 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) tall and can spread 30-40 inches (75-100 cm) wide.

  • Sunlight: Thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal performance and continuous blooming.

  • Tolerance: The plant is heat-tolerant and can handle cooler conditions well.

  • Attracts: The blooms attract pollinators such as butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. 

Care and Maintenance

  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. The soil should never dry out completely, especially in containers.

  • Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained soil. Amending garden soil with compost before planting is recommended.

  • Fertilizing: The plant is a heavy feeder and benefits from a liquid fertilizer application every 1-2 weeks or a slow-release fertilizer at planting time to maintain continuous blooms.

  • Grooming: The plant is low-maintenance and generally does not require deadheading (removing spent flowers) as it blooms freely all season. However, an occasional trim of leggy growth can encourage a bushier, fuller appearance.
