To be honest Fairygirl I don't really like Petunia. Love how they look but always go sticky. I got three as part of a plant selection and really wanted the other plants.
Isn't it great we all like different things. Isn't it nice trying new things. Seeing other peoples pics on here gives so many ideas as well.
I think that's why I'm not keen on them BL. We have too much wind and rain here so they just get hammered and don't look good. I love the dark colours (or white of course)and I did do some large pots of deep purple ones for a selling a house but they had to be constantly picked over as they got too wet.
And that was in a good summer!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Have also peone 'Buckeye belle' and a new one called 'Coral Charm'
And fruit - delicious fruit from the Plum 'Pershore Purple'
Prehaps someone somewhere would like to name a plant, a fuchsia, rose, pansy anything really-don't you think ......... Pounsett-Krynauw sounds good.
Except I'm not sure how to pronounce it!
I love petunias they are so easy and colourful and they don't mind the heat and drought in a SW France summer. If we have one this year. Pouring.

The thing I don't like about petunias is that they are sticky, so I find dead-heading them a bit repellent
Thought it was just me and sticky petunias! What makes them do it (go sticky?)
Just remembered pushkinas
I don't dead head petunias, I know you should but I have too many, they last 'til the frosts anyway.
