Pretty Grand Midnight Petunia is a petite tender herbaceous perennial with a tidy habit that is grown as an annual when outside. Its small green foliage is coated by non-stop flowering of large deep midnight purple flowers that bloom above the foliage from early spring through summer. Flowers best in part shade and rich, well-drained soils. Petunias do very well as container and house plants.
