FREE: 1000 Shanin "Wild" Petunia Seeds

The listing, 1000 Shanin "Wild" Petunia Seeds has ended.

Vigorous, spreading annual with a profusion of small, fragrant, violet-colored flowers. Great heat tolerance for a petunia.

One of the parents of all modern Petunias is Petunia violacea, a native of South America. Petunia violacea is heat tolerant, low spreading and known for a profusion of violet flowers. Unfortunately, the flowers are smaller than modern hybrid flowers and are not considered to have great ornamental value. In 1993 Greg Grant observed Petunia violacea at a horticulture exposition in Stuttgart, Germany. Grant, a former Director of Product Development for Color Spot Growers, and now a lecturer at Stephen F. Austin University, recognized the potential of this Petunia and brought three seeds back to Texas.
