E3 Easy Wave Sky Blue Petunia is a tender herbaceous perennial with a spreading habit that is grown as an annual when outside. Its small green foliage is coated by non-stop flowering of large sky blue funnel-shaped flowers that bloom for 10 hours a day from mid spring through summer. Flowers best in part shade and rich, well-drained soils. Petunias do very well as container and house plants.
