Shock Wave® Pink Shades Spreading Petunia

Shock Wave® Pink Shades is a spreading petunia with spring-to-late-summer flowers. PanAmerican identifies the exact PAS520124 selection as mounded and spreading, 7–10 inches tall and 20–30 inches wide, and recommends it for baskets, containers, and mixed combinations ([plant details](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/048605220004165/spreading-petunia-shock-wave-pink-shades/)). ## Placement and bloom Give Pink Shades full sun and enough room for its spreading stems. The Shock Wave series produces masses of petite flowers and is suited to small spaces as well as hanging baskets and mixed planters. Its pink tones pair easily with white or blue flowers in a seasonal display. ## Growing notes Petunias prefer moist, well-drained soil. Very heavy soil can limit flowering, while occasional pinching late in the season helps plants stay compact and bloom well ([Illinois Extension petunia care](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia)). ## Maintenance Check the moisture in containers regularly, especially in warm weather, and water when the soil begins to dry. Let excess water drain freely. Lightly trim stems that extend beyond the planned display and remove faded flowers if a tidier appearance is wanted.
