| Author's Notes | I grew this Petunia and was surprised at how well it performed. Lots of white flowers that held up to the rain. It can become a long scrambling plant unless pruned back to control the length. I grew it as a scrambling plant (over 3 feet long) and pinched it to control the size. |
