About the Petunia hybrid
Hybrid petunias possess large, trumpet shaped flowers in an enormous assortment of colors, including varieties with stripes, different “eye” and vein colors, and double blooms. These petunias are not only showy, but the multiflora group is also repeat blooming and self-cleaning over vigorous, low-mounding and trailing green foliage. The self-cleaning varieties are very popular due to their low maintenance, fast growth habits, and light frost and weather tolerance. Enjoy them in sunny hanging baskets, mixed container gardens and in landscape beds and borders. Browse our varieties of Petunia online.
Care Notes

Repeat flowering, and often self-cleaning, but trim if leggy or stretched to maintain better blooming and a tidy habit.
