I've grown - wave petunia - from seed last year and this year, far superior to normal trailing petunias and as good as surfinia and they trail like mad. Seeds can be hard to come by but are getting more popular, wave petunia are America equivalent to European surfinias. Wave petunia are better for me cause they stand up to the wind a lot better and dont snap like surfinias. they don't need dead heading apparently but I did last year just in case.
Hi Lyn , I thought that as well. I were looking at some red ones on Dobies website a while back and say no dead heading
I am trying some F1 super cascading red petunia I got of ebay this year well, they are doing well but havent got the trailing habit I was expecting, more of a upright growth at the moment.

Calibrachoa will be called 'million bells' in garden centres. If you find one selling them by their formal name, give them a medal!
Will drop one off next time I visit

Hi Perki? Surely if they grow from seed they need dead heading, it's only the sterile ones that don't need dead heading.
