Whispers White - Petunia

Whispers White is the trade name associated with the Petunia cultivar Whip White in the Whispers series. The Royal Horticultural Society lists Whip White as a synonym for this named selection and describes the genus’ familiar trumpet-shaped flowers. See the [RHS plant record](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/231361/petunia-whispers-white-whip-white-whispers-series/details) for the selection identity. ## Garden use White-flowered petunias are useful in seasonal beds, window boxes, and mixed containers, where they brighten darker foliage and help connect stronger colors. Arrange plants in groups or along the front of a border for a continuous white accent. ## Growing conditions Petunias generally flower best in sun and grow well in fertile, well-drained soil. Water when the surface begins to dry, checking pots and baskets more often than garden beds. The [Illinois Extension petunia guide](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia) provides general light, soil, and seasonal-care advice for the genus; use local conditions to adjust watering and placement. ## Maintenance Remove damaged growth and trim stems that become uneven. Keep containers draining freely and replace the plant after frost where petunias are grown as annuals.
