Notes

'Rose Marie' petunia (Petunia 'Rose Marie') 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 usually look elsewhere for a meal. The fragrant flowers bloom from early to late summer and draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.

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