Petunia Pirouette Red
This is a scene-stealing Petunia that belongs front and center in your garden and flowerpots!
These flowers reach 3 inches across and nearly as high, with layer upon layer of flouncy, twisty rose-red petals edged in bright white. Keep them watered and well fed, and they will continue to delight you over a very long summer season!
Piroutte is a bedding Petunia, perfect for the front of the sunny annual border, the edge of sun-soaked paths and driveways, or your finest flowerpots and garden tubs. It grows quickly and is a tireless bloomer, particularly in cool and temperate climates. (On the other hand, if your summers tend to be very hot and humid, try a single-flowered Petunia instead -- the Italian Petunias, such as Fragolino, are all spectacular choices! -- because like most doubles, Pirouette does not fare well in extreme temperatures.) You can expect 4 months or more of these huge, showy flowers!
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 after danger of frost is past. Pkt is 35 seeds.
