Notes
'Velvet Ball' petunia (Petunia 'Velvet Ball') 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 is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. It blooms from early to late summer and draws butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.
Pairs well with Vinca, Mexican bush sage, Jowey Nicky dahlia, and Bellflower.
