  • Blooms in a 4 to 6-day window. 
  • Smaller blooms rebound faster from overhead watering and rain than other petunias – stays fresher-looking at retail and outdoors. 
  • Performs equally well in small spaces, baskets, containers and mixed combos. 
  • Series features a plant structure and shape like E3 Easy Wave.
  • Recommended in Wave branded packaging: 4-in./10-cm pots, premium quarts, 306 premium packs with handle, hanging baskets.

Variable purple-blue and white bicolour pattern is appealing to consumers. Pattern changes based on temperature, light levels and PGRs used; daminozide use will result in more white showing on the blooms. 10.5-hour daylength required.
