Care instructions
Lovely old-fashioned type in shades from pink through dark purple. Similar to our Old Fashioned vining petunia, but this strain appears to make stockier, more upright plants. Sent to us by a customer who found them growing in a dirt road, near an old, abandoned homestead. Very pretty!

Sow in place in spring, or start plants indoors and grow for several weeks, setting out after last frost, transplanting carefully. Plants require full sun, rich soil and moderate soil moisture. Space plants about one foot apart. Picking spent blooms prolongs bloom season.
