Petunia Avalanche Lavender Hybrid
Let it scramble over hot, dry soil or festoon your fanciest baskets and planters!
A hard-to-find color in spreading Petunias, this Lavender is suffused with rich color that won't fade in the summer sun or brown out. Easy to grow from seed, the blooms arise in just 1 to 2 months from sowing!
Particularly effective in wet weather, Avalanche shakes off the elements and keeps on spreading and blooming! Eventually reaching 6 ro 8 inches high and 3 to 5 feet wide, it just keeps turning out 2- to 2 1/2-inch blooms, for fresh blooms over a very long season. Tough enough to use as a ground cover yet lovely enough to grace your patio baskets and entryway, Avalanche will sweep you away! And if you love this rich Lavender, try fire-engine bright Red, stunning Salmon, and goes-with-anything white!
Petunias are unrivalled for long-lasting color in the border, patio containers, windowboxes, and hanging baskets. They bring in the butterflies with their clear, glowing blooms, and are quite low-maintenance. Start seeds indoors 5 to 6 weeks before the last frost date. Transplant into the sunny garden or container after danger of frost is past. Pkt is 10 pelleted seeds.
