So here are some tips we recommend for finding the Waves you want. You can start your search here. Note: The search results default to stores found within 25 miles from your location , so you may want to increase your radius if you're willing to travel a little further. Be sure to call ahead for availability and to check store hours of operation. We try to keep our list as up-to-date as we can, but sometimes locations change details without giving us a warning. And it all starts with proper sunlight.
Although wave petunias will tolerate some shade, they prefer full sun. And the more sun, the better! Make sure your waves get at least 8 hours of full sun each and every day to promote maximum growth and blooms. As long as waves are watered adequately, they can tolerate the hot sun and humidity without any issues at all. To keep wave petunias blooming, they do need frequent watering. But too much watering can lead to soggy roots, and a weak plant.
If you are placing in pots, containers or hanging baskets, use a lightweight, high quality potting mix. If planting directly into the landscape, add in plenty of compost at planting time to promote better drainage. Check the soil daily with the top inch or so of your finger. No matter how rich your potting soil or garden soil is, petunias, or any annual flower for that matter require a constant supply of nutrients to produce those massive amounts of blooms and flowers.
