Notes

'Blue Gem' petunia (Petunia 'Blue Gem') is an annual for borders, containers, and cottage gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It grows well in cool weather and can ride out a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil. It blooms from early to late summer and draws butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.

Pairs well with Sedge, Mexican bush sage, and Bellflower.
