‘Easy Wave Neon Rose’

‘Easy Wave Neon Rose’ can be grown in sunny containers, landscape beds or just about any place you want to make a bold impression. These fast-growing and spreading petunias bloom continuously all season without cutting or dead-heading, and tolerate both hot and cool conditions extremely well. ‘Easy Wave Neon Rose’ offers vivid, eye-catching color!

These winners are available as seeds or plugs from brokers, distributors and growers and will be heavily promoted as AGA Winners to the home gardener before the 2012 gardening season.
