Notes

'English Violet' petunia (Petunia 'English Violet') is an annual for borders, containers, and cottage gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil. It blooms from early to late summer and has a fragrant scent. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the flowers. Deer rarely make it their first choice.

Pairs well with Impatiens, Celosia, and Blue-eyed grass.
