Notes

'Maytime' petunia (Petunia 'Maytime') 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 blooms from early to late summer and has a fragrant scent that bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds enjoy. Deer tend to browse other plants first.

Pairs well with Black Oil sunflower, Celosia, and Sweet potato vine.
