Petunia 'Wave Easy Red' (Petunia)

Wave Easy Red is one of the cleaner, truer reds available in the spreading petunia category, a rich scarlet-red without the bluing or fading that makes some red petunias look muddy or washed out by midsummer. In the Easy Wave series, it carries all the hallmarks that have made this line of petunias a reliable favorite: vigorous, branching spread to fifteen to twenty-four inches, a self-cleaning habit that drops spent flowers without requiring daily deadheading, and strong rain recovery after the wet spells typical of Oregon coast spring weather.

Red is a natural partner for the Fourth of July and summer holiday season, and Wave Easy Red planted with Wave Easy Blue and a white companion creates classic patriotic combinations in large containers and window boxes. But it also works beautifully on its own as a bold, saturated drift of pure color in landscape beds or massed in large planters where you want something that reads from a distance. The warm red also pairs beautifully with soft yellows, deep purples, or silvery-white dusty miller.

Grow in full sun in well-drained soil or a quality container mix.
