Notes

'Bright Eyes' petunia (Petunia 'Bright Eyes') 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. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It blooms from early to late summer, and its fragrant flowers draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.

Pairs well with Bellflower, Blood flower, and Citronella grass.
