Notes
'Shock Wave Red' petunia (Petunia 'Shock Wave Red') 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 of most types. Its fragrant blooms attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.
