In the race to breed the best petunia, this gem was cast aside by the 'big guys.' We are happy to champion this heirloom petunia in shades of lavender, pink and purple. They are sweetly scented, especially at dusk during summer, when currents of warm, velvety air carry their sweet scent throughout the garden. If deadheaded, they continue to bloom until the late fall freeze. Common in catalogs of the 1920s and 1930s. Self-sows.
