Description
Indigo Petunia is a mounding tender herbaceous perennial that is grown as an annual when outside, with small green foliage and non-stop flowering. The small fragrant funnel-shaped flowers are vibrant indigo purple with deeper violet stripes and bloom from spring until frost. Flowers best in part shade and rich, well-drained soils. Petunias do very well as container and house plants.
