So extravagantly ruffled and fully held that Double Cascade Mix Hybrid Double Petunias look like giant carnations instead of petunias, the blooms in this splendid mix are the most colorful, extra-large, fancy grandifloras it has ever been my pleasure to grow. You will simply love them in baskets and pots, borders and beds, over a long summer season.
Double Cascade Mix Hybrid Double Petunia was bred for good weather resistance, and the blooms won't collapse in the first summer storm that comes along. Their many-petalled form looks as dainty as watered silk, but holds its shape remarkably well. And the plant is quite compact, adding to the effect of large, frilly color.
Mix Includes 5 colors that have made Double Cascade a home gardener's favorite:
Burgundy, the deep carmine-maroon that looks like velvet.
Orchid Mist, the extra-large flowered.
Lavender-pink splashed with white, pink, the classic bright bubble-gum hue.
Soft Pink, the powdery version of traditional pink.
Rich Deep Blue, the perfect complement to all the glorious pinks.
These frilly, petal-packed blooms are one of the best sources of lush color for the garden or container. Double Cascade Mix Hybrid Double Petunia boasts flowers 3 to 3½-inches across, erupting all over plants 10 to 15 inches tall and 10 to 12 inches wide. Plan for a long, colorful show from this premium mix.
Double Cascade Mix Hybrid Double Petunias are unrivalled for long-lasting color in the border, patio containers, window boxes, 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.
