If you're new to the Double Cascade series of Grandiflora Petunias, let me fill you in on why these plants are winning gardeners' hearts every day. Unlike older double-flowered Petunias, which tended to offer a few blooms (after considerable coaxing), the Double Cascades are just as floriferous as their single-flowered cousins, and the blooms are HUGE (4 inches). They tumble from tall planters, windowboxes, and hanging baskets, making a nice compromise between bedding Petunias, which tend to be more upright, and trailing Petunias, which grow straight down and out. It's the best of both worlds -- and you get these blooms UP TO A MONTH EARLIER than older varieties, for an extra-long season of color. You just can't beat them; they are simply terrific.
Now, let's look at the blooms themselves. They're frilly, petal-packed, 4 inches wide, fully double (which means that they have twice the petal count of single-flowered blooms), and elaborately ruffled, so that they resemble Carnations more than Petunias! And they erupt all over vigorous 15- to 18-inch-tall plants, creating a long, colorful show in the sun-soaked summer garden, patio, or porch.
Perfect for containers of any kind, this spreading plant froths out of hanging baskets, leans out of windowboxes, and tumbles from planters! It spreads 24 to 30 inches wide, with a well-branched habit that keeps you in blooms over a long, sunny season!
If you like new Blue, please take a look at the other colors in this wonderful series. There's rich Burgundy, bright Pink, pastel Soft Pink, and white-splashed Orchid Mist. Or simply give in to temptation and get the ultra-colorful mix of all 5 colors! This Petunia is so popular that we've even got a collection that gives you one packet of each color for less money than you'd spend on 5 separate packets!
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.
Used in containers, hanging baskets, bedding, borders, and greenhouses. They are vigorous plants growing 10-18 inches tall and spreading to 3 feet. From summer to frost they are covered in slightly fragrant, funnel-shaped, double or single flowers that are bicolor or solid colors of violet, blue, red, pink, salmon, or white

First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
