Notes

'Blue Brocade' petunia (Petunia 'Blue Brocade') is an annual for borders, containers, and cottage gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Its fragrant blooms open from early to late summer and draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.

Pairs well with Mexican bush sage, Blood flower, and Bellflower.
