A petite, perky, prolific bloomer, tumbling happily from baskets, boxes, balconies and planters.

Sometimes called “million bells”, it produces hundreds of 1” flowers at a time. These “minipetunias” are not petunias at all—no dead-heading is necessary and the fuzzy, faintly aromatic foliage is not sticky. Like petunias they can be trimmed if necessary, like to be fertilized regularly and do best in evenly moist to slightly dry soil.
