Easy Wave® The Flag Mixture Spreading Petunia

Easy Wave® The Flag Mixture is an ordinary Easy Wave spreading petunia blend with blue, red, and white flowers. 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 named mixture. ## Placement and bloom Choose a sunny site with room for the mature size. These spreading plants can soften the edges of containers and baskets or fill sunny annual beds and landscape spaces. The Flag Mixture combines blue, red, and white flowers; Violet and White remain separate named color selections. See the exact selection on the [PanAmerican Seed product page](https://www.panamseed.com/products/048602869014855/spreading-petunia-easy-wave-the-flag-mixture/). ## Growing notes Illinois Extension recommends full sun and moist, well-drained soil for petunias and notes that very heavy soil can limit flowering. Keep the root zone evenly moist and let excess water drain. Use these petunias as seasonal annual color and replace them when frost ends the display. For general species guidance, see [Illinois Extension petunia care](https://extension.illinois.edu/flowers/petunia). ## Maintenance Check containers and baskets regularly because their growing medium dries faster than a garden bed. Pinch stems occasionally late in the season to help keep plants compact and blooming well, following Illinois Extension’s petunia guidance. The listed bloom windows extend through summer and into late summer; adjust irrigation to rainfall, heat, and container size.
