Petunias

I have a love hate relationship with petunias.   I hate them because I think I should be using more original flowers since petunias are everywhere.  One client described them as garden whores.   Yet I love them because they are bright and beautiful and need little deadheading these days.   One catalog has over 50 different colors of petunias.   They come in so many sizes and varieties and it is overwhelming.   So yes we use them in pots, baskets and in the garden and then I feel guilty for using so many petunias but I can’t stop!
