Details

Petunia 'Amazonas Plum Cockatoo' is a very unique colored petunia, so-named for the striking lime-green edges framing the darkish purple flowers with near black throats. A striking combination! We think it performs better than other green-edged petunia varieties. Perfect in pots or hanging baskets, its habit is very compact and trailing. Blooms all summer.

Growing Tips

If you have problems with budworms (blooms and buds getting chewed away) we recommend Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew. It's safe enough to be used for organic growing, and if used once a week starting mid-June it should take care of these dastardly pests that have invaded most of the Midwest. We carry this fantastic product at our Kaw Valley Garden Centers in ready-to-use spray bottles.
