Bee's Knees Petunia is a tender trailing herbaceous perennial that is grown as an annual when outside. Its small green foliage is coated by non-stop flowering of abundant soft yellow flowers with rich yellow flushing that bloom from early spring until frost. Flowers best in part shade and rich, well-drained soils. Petunias do very well as container and house plants.
