The bold purples of this petite petunia with 1½"–2" variegated flowers will make your hanging baskets pop. No two blooms are exactly alike; color patterns continue to change as they react to seasonal temperature and light variances. The plant's habit is compact, mounded, and spreading–perfect for patio containers, window boxes, and hanging baskets. Grown as an annual; although perennial in USDA zones 10 and warmer. The extremely small seeds are pelleted with a clay-based product for ease of handling.

    I have been gardening for 50+ years and I am so disappointed in this packet of seeds. Although it says that the pack contains 10 seeds, mine only contained 5 and of the 5 seeds I planted, only 1 has germinated so far.

    At the price of $5.49, I feel that I wasted my money. I would have been better off buying plants at a nursery.

    I bought a pack of Shock Wave Purple Tie Dye Petunia seeds, which stated that it contains 10 seeds. I like that, as Petunia seeds are tiny, there is a small sealed envelope with the seeds inside. However, there were only 5 seeds! 5 seeds for $5.49 is outrageous! But the most outrageous thing is that the pack says 10 when containing 5. I hope the 5 germinate.

    The petunias ( indoor) as well as none of the many packets of sweet peas(outdoor) I bought from you germinated! I sent you photos last year of my awesome sweet peas...planted the same and more this year and got nothing.

    Hoping the vegies I bought will do better!

    Your seeds are usually great. But the Purple Wave Petunia seeds completely failed. Nothing came up. I am a Master Gardener, so I know what I am doing. Not one germinated.
