Sunny golden-yellow blooms by the many dozen decorate this exciting new Easy Wave, and they are going to make your baskets and planters gleam. Yellow Easy Wave offers all the vigor and nonstop flowering of the other Waves® with the addition of a more mounding, full, better-branching habit. Welcome Yellow Easy Wave into the garden this season and begin seeing how fun it is to have a cool-toned spreading petunia among all those hot reds and pinks.
When the Easy Wave series was introduced, gardeners wondered how the other Waves could possibly be improved upon. Covered with awards and honors, fan favorites in gardens across the country, they seemed invincible. Petunia Wave had taken the gardening world by storm since its introduction a few years ago, with a spreading habit and quick growth coupled with masses of blooms. But gardeners soon found that Easy Wave doesn't replace the regular Waveit complements it.
Easy Wave doesn't reach quite as far as the older Waves, but it stands up "taller," reaching 6 to 12 inches high and trailing 2½ to 3 feet or more. You will love the endless bloom power and the improved shape of this plant, which is ideal for hanging baskets, window boxes, and flowerpots of all kinds.
Yellow sets wide open 2- to 3-inch blooms of sunny bright yellow to pale gold, quite long-lasting and resistant to fading. The flowers arise by the hundred over a season that can last 4 months or more. And they self-clean neatly.
Yellow Easy Wave is simple to grow from our convenient pelleted seed, which should be started indoors 5 to 6 weeks before transplant to the early-spring garden. Set out plants when all danger of frost is past and the seedlings have at least 2 sets of true leaves. Yellow Easy Wave will begin blooming 10 to 12 weeks after sowing. It is magnificent in hanging baskets, window boxes, and large containers, as well as an unrivalled ground cover for bright sun. Stupendous.
This seed comes as a "pellet". "Pelleted" seeds are small seeds that have been clay-coated to make them larger and more uniform in size and shape, making them easier to handle when planting.
