I have a sneaky weakness for petunias and surfinias. They must be the only real rival to pelargoniums for the title of the ultimate balcony plant. Stick 'em in a container, give them the right amount of tender loving care and they'll grow, and bloom, and grow and bloom all summer. . . .

Wave petunias "created quite a stir when first introduced," remarks Marie Iannotti. If you haven't bothered with petunias for a while, you may wonder what all the fuss is about;...

Wordless Wednesday
It looks like someone got creative when they were trying to come up with an idea for their extra petunias! . . .

With all the plant choices we have these days, itÂ’s kind of surprising that petunias are still so popular. Or maybe not. TodayÂ’s petunias are supercharged, after all....

All season -- this being my first season growing petunias -- I've been struck by how much new petunia blossoms and old petunia blossoms look alike. In fact, when I started deadheading the flowers, more than a few times I tugged on new blossoms thinking they were spent. Fortunately, I've become more discerning over time and haven't made that mistake for awhile now.
Always one to see the profound in the ordinary, I'm reminded that as human beings we are similar. Though you can't mistake young people for old, we share similarities at the beginning and near the end of life. We're delicate and vulnerable, a little wrinkly, either not fully formed or slowly deteriorating. In the garden, as in life, beginnings and endings create the eternal cycle of living.

Offspring of the V.I.P. (Violet in Profusion), this old-fashioned flower has staying power.

Petunias? Fragrant? I was sitting in the backyard in late afternoon/early evening a few days ago, and kept catching whiffs of a lovely flower fragrance. I was hoping it was the night-scented stocks (Matthiola bicornis AKA longipetala), but they weren't yet open. This was a sweet, spicy scent. I kept sensing there was vanilla in there somewhere. Delicious. And I didn't know where it was

I admit that I'm not the best person when it comes to native plants. I've got plans for the the stereotypical pansies and petunias and maybe some marigolds...
...and another point of view on the topic of native plants vs. exotics
