Shock Wave® Coral Crush Spreading Petunia

Shock Wave® Coral Crush is a spreading petunia with coral-pink shaded flowers. PanAmerican identifies the exact PAS803824 selection as mounded and spreading, 7–10 inches tall and 20–30 inches wide, with spring-through-late-summer bloom ([plant details](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/048605220025968/spreading-petunia-shock-wave-coral-crush/)). ## Placement and bloom Set this compact, spreading plant in full sun for baskets, containers, or mixed combinations. PanAmerican describes Shock Wave petunias as having petite, high-impact flowers and a strong spreading fill; Coral Crush retains its color well in high light. Leave room for its wider spread when combining it with other plants. ## Growing notes Petunias prefer moist, well-drained soil and full sun. Illinois Extension notes that very heavy soil can limit flowering and that occasional late-season pinching helps keep plants compact and blooming ([petunia care guide](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia)). ## Maintenance Check container moisture often during warm weather and water deeply when the soil begins to dry, then let excess water drain. Trim long stems if they extend beyond the intended basket or container. Remove faded flowers as desired and keep neighboring plants from crowding the spreading branches.
