Wave Purple Classic Petunia

If you’re looking to blanket your garden beds, baskets, or containers with a wave of non-stop purple blooms, the Wave® Purple Classic Petunia from Platt Hill Nursery is your go-to superstar. This fast-growing, spreading annual is known for its vivid color, exceptional performance, and ability to thrive with minimal care. With a rich royal-purple hue and a vigorous trailing habit, it’s perfect for creating dramatic groundcover, spilling over container edges, or brightening up any sunny space.

Key Features:

  • Vibrant Purple Blooms:
    Produces a profusion of deep, saturated purple flowers that hold their color beautifully all season long.
  • Spreading Habit:
    Grows 6–12 inches tall but can spread up to 3–4 feet wide, making it an excellent choice for groundcover, large containers, and hanging baskets.
  • Continuous Blooming:
    Flowers from late spring until frost without needing deadheading, thanks to its self-cleaning nature.
  • Low Maintenance:
    Tolerates heat and drought once established, and requires little upkeep for maximum impact.
  • Sun-Loving:
    Performs best in full sun, soaking up at least 6 hours of light per day to keep those blooms coming.
  • Great for Containers and Beds:
    Ideal for garden beds, window boxes, containers, retaining walls, and even sloped areas where it can trail beautifully.
  • Pollinator Friendly:
    Attracts bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators, helping to support a healthy garden ecosystem.

Care Tips:

  • Sunlight: Plant in a location with full sun (6+ hours daily) for the best bloom production.
  • Soil: Prefers well-draining soil; amend with compost if needed to enrich sandy or clay-heavy beds.
  • Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry spells—keep soil moist but not soggy.
  • Feeding: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–3 weeks to fuel vigorous growth and continuous flowering.
  • Spacing: Allow ample room to spread—space plants about 12–18 inches apart.

With occasional maintenance and upkeep including trimming off the flower heads after they fade and die, this plant won’t require much attention to be a great addition to your outdoor oasis. Wave Purple Classic Petunia is sure to create an attractive and lasting impression.
