Easy Wave® Violet - Spreading Petunia

Easy Wave® Violet is a violet-flowered spreading petunia with a mounded center and long trailing growth. Ball Seed lists a height of 6–12 inches and a spread of 30–39 inches, with flowering from spring through late summer in full sun. ## Growth and Display The series is suited to containers, hanging baskets, and landscape beds. Ball describes the plant as fast-growing, heat tolerant, and freely flowering through the season; its mounded, controlled-spreading habit can fill the center of a mixed planter while trailing over the edge. The violet flowers stand out against green foliage. ## Site and Water Choose a sunny site with moist, well-drained soil. Ball recommends medium watering and notes that the plants tolerate heat and cooler conditions. The broader petunia guidance from Illinois Extension also favors full sun and well-drained soil. ## Maintenance Keep soil evenly moist during active growth, especially in containers. Ball reports that Easy Wave blooms freely without cutting back, so routine shearing is not needed to maintain flowering. Pinch late-season growth only if you want a more compact outline.
