Easy Wave® Great Lakes Mixture Spreading Petunia

Easy Wave® Great Lakes Mixture is a named spreading petunia selection with a blue, violet, and white combination. PanAmerican Seed lists a mounded, spreading habit, a height of 6–12 inches, a width of 30–39 inches, sun exposure, and spring-through-late-summer bloom for this plant. ## Placement and flowering Use this low, wide-growing selection where a sunny container, hanging basket, or garden planting can accommodate its spreading habit. PanAmerican Seed describes Easy Wave as suitable for solo or mixed planters, baskets, gardens, and landscape plantings, with a more mounded habit and more controlled spread than Wave varieties. The exact selection and dimensions are shown on the [PanAmerican Seed product page](https://www.panamseed.com/products/048602869023817/spreading-petunia-easy-wave-great-lakes-mixture/). ## Growing notes Illinois Extension recommends full sun and moist, well-drained soil for petunias and notes that very heavy soils can reduce flowering. Keep the root zone evenly moist while allowing excess water to drain; containers should be checked as they dry between waterings. Petunias are dependable annuals, so use this selection as a warm-season display rather than assuming perennial hardiness. See [Illinois Extension petunia guidance](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia). ## Maintenance Pinch stems occasionally late in the season to help keep plants compact and flowering well, as Illinois Extension recommends. Leave enough space for the listed 30–39 inch spread, and adjust watering to rainfall, heat, and container size. The breeder lists the selection’s flowering season as spring, late spring, summer, and late summer.
