Growing Information
Growing Shock Wave® Deep Purple Spreading Petunia
Shock Wave Deep Purple Spreading Petunia Seeds produce one of the earliest-blooming petunias in the entire Wave series, delivering masses of vivid, deep purple flowers long before other spreading types begin. These compact, mounded plants quickly fill in beds, containers, window boxes, and hanging baskets with a carpet of color that stays vibrant throughout the season. Known for their rapid recovery after rain, Shock Wave varieties bounce back faster than other petunias, maintaining a fresh, clean look even in unpredictable weather.
The growth habit is similar to Easy Wave petunias, creating a controlled yet spreading mound that works beautifully in mixed plantings and landscape borders. Plants reach 7–10 inches tall with a spread of about 2½–3 feet, making them ideal for creating rich groundcover effects or spilling over the edges of containers. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, Shock Wave Deep Purple delivers nonstop, eye-catching blooms from spring to frost on hardy, dependable plants.
For gardeners looking for early color, reliable performance, and a spreading petunia with exceptional weather tolerance, Shock Wave Deep Purple stands out as a brilliant, garden-ready choice.

Another first for me but definitely beautiful.

Since you asked, I’m very unhappy with the germination of the seeds ordered. The petunias had a zero percent germination rate and the tomatillos has less that 30% germination rate. Not impressed with my first time order. Not anxious to place another. Please let me know how you plan to compensate me and give me assurance that a next order will be satisfactory. Wish I had looked at reviews before placing an order. You have many poor reviews.

I was looking forward to these petunias. They came packaged in their own little vials. Planted them as I have in the past but not a single one grew. I would not recommend.
