Notes

'Rose Gem' petunia (Petunia 'Rose Gem') 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 is fragrant, blooms from early to late summer, and draws butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.

Pairs well with Ring of Fire sunflower, Impatiens, and White velvet.
